Reply #9: This isn't directed at those who support Edwards because they think he's more progressive [View All]

This is directed at those who claim that Obama or Hillary should not be the nominee because they believe their race/gender make them "unelectable."

Specifically: "COMPLAINING that an African-American or a woman might actually end up winning the Democratic nomination, INSISTING that NOW IS NOT YET THE TIME for either of them, and PREDICTING that, not only would they lose the general election, but that their loss would be BECAUSE of their race/gender and that such a loss would be an unmitigated disaster not only for the Democratic Party, but for the future prospects of blacks and women in the political world."
