Thread Name: BS: Primaries
Subject: RE: BS: Primaries
As I have pointed out on another thread, GG... Obama has more to be concerned about with the DNC rigged "super delegate" deck than he has with either McClinton, McWar or the race card being played...

Jessie Jackson was a big target becuase Jackson made race an issue... Obama not so... That's why Obama is doing so well with white voters... Even Southern white voters??? Go figure???

Plus, progressives have had some time now to consider how to counter Swiftboating... One of the best things they have done is seize on the term much the way the Repubs once used "liberal" as derogatory...
"Swiftboating" is now a derogatory term in most people's minds and so it is now not only part of the progrssive's arsonal but ready to be fired swiftly and often should the McWariers come close to playin' the race card, no matter how subtle the playin'...
