Hey, Amos...if you were a Hillary-backer, you'd have looked this up instead and posted it:

INSIGHT: Why I am an African American man for Clinton
15:00 Fri 07 Mar 2008 - Dex Walcott

"I'm tired of pseudo-liberal interpretations suggesting that contempt for Senator Obama is rooted in racial prejudice. I'm disheartened by my Black brothers guilt-tripping brothers and sisters for not supporting the first Black man to run for president of the United States. So, even though I'm not eligible to vote, I'm a Black man supporting Senator Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.

Yes, I'd very much like to see a Black man be the president of the United States, but not any Black man, not if this Black man is yet another figurehead for forces that would lead us down the garden path of empty rhetoric and not deliver. I thought the idea of having Black men in a position of power was that they might introduce some empathy, dialogue and unity to our racially divided, conflict-wrought world, and I don't see a knee jerk vote for any Black man just because he IS a Black man bringing about that positive change. Obama says 'Yes we can!' Man, I KNOW that, but Hillary says 'Yes, we WILL!' 'Can' just ain't enough...we need a president who WILL do what needs to be done, and I see Hillary Clinton as that president..."


Heh! ;-) I composed it, of course, out of thin air, paraphrasing the article you copied and pasted from a female Obama supporter. Same psychology. I turned it around so as to demonstrate how it works. Just the same way, only opposite.

This is the partisan technique for changing "hearts and minds". Find the spokespersons of your persuasion, and quote them.
