Clyburn is one class act. Nonetheless, with something like 80% of SCs blacks supporting Obama, it is obvious that much of the blacks there and well perhaps most are voting for Obama because he is black. This is OK. After slavery, I could see voting for a candidate because he's black if I were black. BUT AT LEAST LET THEM BE HONEST ABOUT IT.
The Iowan Democrats are redneck moderate conservatives and thus hillary haters. Just wait till the educated, non-redneck states of New York, New Jersey, California, etc.
So rednecks would like an african-american male over a white woman. That's ridiculous!!
By the way, in California, New York and New Jersey - Obama has been consistently narrowing the gap between the two. In fact, it has also been wide covered in exit polls that college educated democrats support Obama over Hillary.
Such bitterness. Perhaps "first black President!" is a useful idea to rally around for black voters, but I don't think that is the primary reason they support him. More than likely, they support him for similar reasons that I support him for. I'm white, FYI. Judgment, integrity, courage, ability to get things done, etc.
Exactly, the only reason for this myth is that the Clintons want to put Obama into a racial corner. After all, they can't admit that he convinces people not because of a social label but because he has better plans, better judgement, more credibility, more EXPERIENCE as a legislator and frankly, more likeability than Hillary!
this likeability notion is bullshit. it is for ignorant americans who cannot separate their evening tv shows from the job of a president. besides, i find hillary much more likeable than obama. if i want obama, then i can go find a church where someone can proclaim vacuous slogans in preachy tones.
Or maybe Obama can let out a (fake cry) to let people know he is real. The Clinton's are lying, "truth"lover! If you want the "truth", then you need to seek it! I'll take the rhetoric of hope over more of the same old same old any day! I don't want a dynasty, I want the TRUTH!
"Chump"! Was that the title of your masters thesis and Dumb Fuck University? Get real and calm the fuck down. The choice is always between a "a big turd" and "a douche". That's a reference to a South Park episode. However, I'm sure you are to high brow and educated to enjoy good satire, so you wouldn't understand.
I agree. Wonder if that's the latest trick by Mark Penn (clinton's Carl Rove) to reduce Obama charm among regular americans who do not think in racial terms.
Obama is a leader that comes along once in a generation!
Well said congressman! Let the pettiness be done!

Majority of Iowa (95% white) voted for Obama.
Almost half of New Hampshire (95% white) voted for Obama.
In Nevada, Obama won more rural counties (95% white); thereby earning 13 delegates compared to Hillary's 12 (even though she won more overall votes).
Clinton's attempt to portray Obama as a black candidate will not work.

college students are young and idealistic, and more easily swayed by vacuous charismatic oration.
yes, i think that in the heartland there is deep-rooted hatred of the clintons, as is evidenced pitifully too well on youtube.

1. I said "college educated" not "college students". :)
2. Something wrong with being "idealistic"? I guess the Clinton's wouldn't know what that means. :)
3. I wouldn't call it "hatred" for Clintons. "Dislike" is more like it...and for a good reason. Remember NAFTA?

don't preach to me about truth, chump . . . apparently a high school chump, concerned with "likeability," as if obama's shit don't stink.
