Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Team Clinton is busily and efficiently alienating black voters. Again, one of the ironies in this irony-filled political season is that she can actually far more afford to be seen as pro-black than he can. And she's throwing this advantage, like so many others, away.

But it looks at this point like she's playing racial politics with an eye to capturing California (about 20% Hispanic to 6% black).   She's playing the delegate game--pure and simple--knowing that she already has the advantage there since she locked up so many "superdelegates" so early.

So on the way to the nomination she's destroying the Democratic coalition.
