Keep in mind, the Republicans like to do nasty things to black voters in general elections, like caging, which keeps many from voting.

So I think this racial point is overdone when it comes to the general elections. The Hispanic and Womans votes are equally important in a general election. While Obama has young voters, HRC seems to do do better with the elderly, who are greater in number and who vote in higher percentages.

Also, Obamas book Dreams From My Father is a disturbing read for any White Working Class voter. There is an element of Racial anger in there that would make those in rural areas a bit concerned.

I don’t care much who wins, none of them will bring any change for the better, but they might at least spin things so we feel better about being ripped off.

The likes of Mr. Armando will continue to use and abuse them.

Numbers can be powerful enough to literally shut down the brain of most anybody. Foreinstance, Mr. Clinton puts Mr. Obama’s ‘victory’ down as merely because Mr. Obama has 4 times more campaign money to spend than Rodham. Rather than asking why Obama has more money than Rodham, we accept the 4:1 figure as a reason in itself.

Because politicians exploit our insecurities through their rhetorical subtleties.

A point worth re-telling…Former New York Governor Mario Como once said that when his father arrived in America from Italy among the the first words he learned in English was the word ” nigger”. The point was to easily identify by physical characteristic somebody deemed lower by society in social standing then himself, and thereby elevating himself in his perceived social stature and assuaging his insecurities. Insecurity is “always” the operative emotion that creates division.

How about instead we try a new coalition, involving people of all sorts of color, and even ones with education, and all those people who are really, really tired of being pandered to by DC pols?

That’s the brilliance of Dean’s 50-state strategy - it inherently transcends and reframes the ethnic bloc narratives to a place where the Democrats can advocate for the general interest in a way that reveals equally to white women, black men, orange young folks, green over-50’s, what-the-F-ever bloc you want to talk about, that we all have fundamentally the same interest in electing a President who will uphold values that we all share in common - basic fairness, the constitutional separation of powers, never waging unnecessary wars, a role for government in helping the less fortunate, all those things that will highlight the differences between the Democrats who stand up for all Americans and Republicans who stand up for a very narrow slice of wealthy Americans shareholders.
