A way Hillary could have been classy on the race issue, and scored points too. |
|
The following is a simple and classy way that Hillary could have addressed the prospect of people voting on race leading, while staying true to the party and scoring some points with the progressive wing to boot. When asked about it leading up to WV, she could have simply answered this way:
"If anyone is planning on voting for me instead of Senator Obama because he's black, I'd ask them to please either stay home, or vote for somebody else. I'd rather lose than win on the back of that."

The following is a simple and classy way that Barack could have addressed the prospect of people voting on gender leading, while staying true to the party and scoring some points with the progressive wing to boot. When asked about it leading up to (all states), he could have simply answered this way:
"If anyone is planning on voting for me instead of Senator Clinton because she's female, I'd ask them to please either stay home, or vote for somebody else. I'd rather lose than win on the back of that."

If any of you are voting for Obama only because he's black - stay home.
