...with Senator Clinton to November. "AAs don't matter, states we don't win in don't matter" and you have a recipe for a disastrous campaign.
You really think black voters, the most loyal Democratic base, don't matter in swing states? If President Clinton campaigned like that his loss would have been momentous.

Senator clinton doesn't write anyone off

that's what the obama campaign does. out with the old! in with the new. we don't need blue collar racists! we don't need women over 40! we don't need latinos!
clinton apoligized when her campaign was accused of being racially insenstive. (i'm not even gonna touch the racist accusation - that's just obama and his surrogates bein' lower than low). if anyone thought for 2 seconds about the clinton's supposed race baiting, it would be obviously absurd and disgusting. but the O camp has no reality to build on so they've got to burn and slash the last giants of the dem party. The Clintons.
how pathetic when i reread those words. Senator Clinton looks down her nose at no one. she goes into the den of those that hate her and tries to show respect.
you're making another false argument. all the race divisiveness has been flamed by obama. how ironic. mr unity.
as obama would say...how sad.

I see your as good at pretend

as youre candidate. Either that or you have a readinf comprehension problem. The poster never said "AA's don't matter." Not a surprise that you have to manufacture outrage though.

another Obamamite race-baiter

Hillary never said AAs don't count. But in ObamaLand everything is viewed through the racist lens of white oppression and victimization - reflected in Rev. Wright's ideology.

And if a racist motive isn't apparent, Obamamites like you twist and distort to reach an outcome of "racism."

is a trouble-maker. He comes in here to bait you with his backhanded racism attacks on Hillary voters. He's as subtle as ebola. Time for him to be called out, so that's why I am doing it.

The math for the GE
by Florida Resident on Tue May 20, 2008 at 07:55:29 AM EST
is different than for the primaries. In Democratic primaries and caucuses AA votes can be as high as 40-50 % of the votes in some states like SC, Miss, and others.  In those states having near to 90% of the AA vote gave Obama a distinct advantage. In states such as Ohio and Pa that was not the case. Clinton has never dismissed any demographic within the Democratic party that has been an Obama camp practice.  In the GE the AA vote is somewhere around 12 to 13% of the registered voters that does not mean it is not important for a Democratic win but if you don't have the average white working class Democratic voter solidly behind you you can 100% of the AA vote and still loose. That is why unlike Obama''s followers and campaign members Clinton's campaign does not dismiss the Black vote or the White working class vote. No bitter and clinging remarks, no Donna Brarizille ill conceived remarks.

Please convince the other posters of that fact

That is the theme

Obama is already using--only he has lots of states that don't matter (like where those white racists live in Appalachia, which, by and large, was not a tremendous rallying point for the confederacy. Lincoln called the mountain people of Ky, where he was born, his people. Think maybe Lincoln's approach to the population might work better than calling them racist and ignoring them?)
Oh--and btw, the largest segment of faithful voters among democrats are women. Women too have been written off as 'sweeties;' you know, that herd of sheep which will do as they are told.
But, bless your heart, worrying about Hillary! Too bad your comment applies better to Obama than to her.
