Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
For the record, it may not surprise readers of this thread to know that while I believe that "The Clinton campaign--trying to push the idea that Obama would be arisky bet in general election--is using language and making claims that are at best racially insensitive", I do not believe that "The Obama campaign, in turn--hoping to increase its advantage among blacks in South Carolina and beyond--is exaggerating the extent of the Clinton campaign's trangressions".

I do believe that [as Little Hawk phrased it] "back and forth sniping" between Hillary Clinton supporters and Barack Obama supporters. And I do believe that this snipping can result in a Republican win, since some supporters of either candidate may decline to vote in the general Presidential election for the other candidate who becomes the Democratic nominee.

What can be done about this? Well, for one thing, my suggestion is that Hillary Clinton needs to publically speak out against the use of veiled racially charged language by her supporters. Barack Obama can also speak to the need for unity-Oh right, he's been doing that all along.

Well, Obama can continue to speak about unifying America.
