Reply #59: Only a few idiots [View All]

said the Clintons are racist. It's obvious they aren't.

What some have argued, including myself, is that over the course of this campaign, the Clintons have been dismissive of many of Obama's victories due to his carrying the African American vote overwhelmingly.

This may be considered racially insensitive and insulting to all of Obama's supporters, but is definitely incredibly idiotic, and shortsighted.

Hillary need not have even mentioned the racial demographics of Louisiana. She could have simply said "congrats to Obama for a hard fought win over the weekend. It's clear we have work to do and we intend to do that before the following primaries and we intend to carry the delegate rich states of Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania, as well as Virginia and Maryland".

Instead she comes off as a sore loser, basically writing off the states Obama won as unimportant. This is a losing strategy now, and the general election.
