Face it, like every african american candidate before him, Barak was supposed to RUN, he wasn't supposed to WIN.

i mean really, we liberal elites just knew that those red state crackers will surely vote for a white woman over a black man, we have been telling you (and ourselves) for years what a bunch of racist knuckle-draggers they are.

only then, they didn't.

i mean my god, he won in Utah, North Dakota, and Wyoming.

so now, since america has let us down on the race issue, we have decided that you are all misogynistic pigs, instead.

and we are Pissed.

This article and your reply are the reasons I continue to read Slate.

LMAO for real. Hear hear.

I knew most other Fraysters are gonna bust out with their mad clueless-ness (to be expected given that Slate writers often don't know WTF they're talking about) in re "race" (and "ethnicity").

The original article as well is this post is a relief!

Excellent post. Thank you for another perspective. Since I give the Clinton team credit for being shrewd politics, I have trouble thinking that her comments were not somehow calculated by them in a new, third way of racial wedge politics. I believe that all this talk of race will now certainly push all the white Pennsylvanian factory workers to defensively vote for the white person. For the Clintons, racial controversy equals success!

There's no denying what you say, Reprobate--or how deliciously you say it :)

Clinton will do any dirty deed (or have a has been friend do it for her) anywhere, anytime and any way she can to get elected................I WANT TO SEE HER TAX RETURNS FROM 2006.........................s­urely she has filed them by now. Clinton is a dirt bag of the worst kind!
