It's really a bit understated (as hard as that is to believe, but I believe it to be true), that we're talking about a BLACK MAN being the nominee for the Democratic Party for president - that in of itself is Earth-shattering enough, and for me at least, that fact has gone beyond my thinking for some time because I'm not a racist. But, with each state with a high amount of 'rednecks', that votes and supports her in the DEMOCRATIC primary by a near 2-to-1 number, the glaring fact that his skin tone has an effect really sends a wakeup call to me.
But, the Clinton backers who believe she should stick this out are almost blinded by her rhetoric, and refuse to see that the longer she stays, in her failed attempt to win the vote of the elected delegates from each state's primary, and now the super delegates, the more likely John McSame will become president, because of the massiveness of the fact - we are so close to having a black man be in the Oval Office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who's actually there to sit behind the desk, instead of sweeping the floor.
Thirty or Forty point wins in West Virginia and Kentucky aren't things to be proud of when in bigger states they are closer contests - it smacks of the obvious - "I ain't voting for no ni**er!", so I wouldn't be bragging about those wins, and I would just accept if I was a Hillary backer that she narrowly lost and would have got behind our nominee weeks ago.
Someone voting AGAINST someone because of what they look like is a far greater questionable act than someone voting for someone for what they see in similarity to themselves. Obama does very well against McCain in Colorado (ahead), Nevada, Indiana (tie), South Carolina, North Dakota, even Arizona, and other states that, by putting them in play, make McCain's chances weaker as he puts money into holding the leads in some states, and battling in others he would easily beat Hillary in.
Yet, these truths, verified by polling, mean little, however, when you have such a well known former first lady, running around the country clamoring that the votes aren't being counted, the votes aren't being counted!! On top of that, the former president, backs up her desperate demands for the popular vote total that she's accumulated in the primary battle to count for something, and thus, they make an already obvious situation much more challenging when our own party's leaders are swirling the storms of racist-tinged reference points like she has the support of "hard working white voters". Although, that isn't necessarily always the case (see Oregon and Iowa for example, the first and most recent primary battles).
Obama is going to be our nominee and it's going to be a challenge to get the vote out to override the racists and have our first leader who just happens to be not a white guy - all of that is a fact. Something that remains to be seen after the first week in June is whether it's fact that Hillary Clinton is in this for herself - or for Americans as a whole. The Clinton legacy as "leaders" who fought hard for everyone's rights as best as they could, considering the walls they were facing, hinges on her choices in the next couple weeks - history will be watching.
