zhoyt posits:
"Black people do not support Obama because Hillary is white...SOME white people vote for Hillary because Obama is black."
Then asks:
"See the difference?"
The difference is clear, but the veracity of your assertion is not.
Indeed, SOME people DO support Obama because Hillary is white. To suggest otherwise is pollyanish at best. Black folk are bigots too, y'know--and as such, there are those who would vote for Willie Horton over Mother Theresa, purely on the basis of race.
I'm all for Obama, and I cannot abide Hillary, but there is no need to stoop to inanity in the service of the cause.

Indeed, the tech-boomy/zero deficit/red-hot economy of the Clinton Years was downright odious compared to these salad-days at the dawn of the 21st Century.
Bill was no holy man, and Lord knows he had his defects, but life was good while he was in office, and his mistakes were more damaging to him than to the country.
It can hardly be said that he "got it wrong" in his administration of the peoples business, and it's unfair to infer that he was just lucky.
And, if we are to compare acronyms, I match your NAFTA with my WMD, GDP or WTF anytime!
I'm so sick of Bush that I no longer have the strength to hate him. I have no use for Hillary, and I lament the low state to which her husband has brought himself in her service.
And while I regret his former boorishness as much as his current loutishness, I will never forget what a hoot it was, back in the day, when busboys drank champagne, receptionists traveled in sports cars, and everybody's refrigerator was made of brushed aluminum.

Speciousness. Hillary's ability to outperform Democratic rivals in these so-called "tough districts" is not particularly relevant to a general election in which the Democratic nominee competes with a Republican.
Similarly, Hillary's victory in PA is not a predictor of November's results. Give the Democratic infrastructure and the Rendell machine to Obama vs. McCain, and watch what happens.
Hillary needs to go home now. She is done.

Let him cut off funding. Then see who answers his calls.

I think Hillary is unsuited for (and unlikely to become) president, but she'd make a great Senate Majority Leader. We'll make Bill an ambassador or something, and maybe--just maybe...

Specious data. Plain and simple.
Let McCain receive the same treatment from the Governor, and the Mayors of Philly and Pittsburgh that Obama received--then do a poll. It's a blue state. Don't kid yourself.

"I live and work in a multi racial environment, and saw no evidence of a divide until Obama's campaign began exploiting it..."
So, because you saw no evidence, the case is closed? That's might white of you, Massa Slumlord!

It is not generally my nature to harbor such sentiments, but I truly pray that our President's retirement will involve intensive, long-term oncology. He needs to suffer...
