Clinton surrogates discourage black voters [View All]

If you're wondering why someone would interpret "it's all just a fairy tale" as a slam against a black fantasy candidate... it probably has to do with remarks like these coming from Hillary's endorsers. It's not her fault they're saying this stuff, necessarily, but it is Bill's when he uses language like that when he knows this is the message being sent to black voters.

"Two prominent black Alabama Democrats say they won't support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for president because they don't feel he can be elected."


"We cannot lose sight that we have to beat the Republicans," said Reed, who has close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Holmes said Republicans would like to run against Obama because they know he can't win.

"This is the biggest Republican trap ever," said Holmes. "I'm one black leader who is not going to fall into that trap."
