" previously VERY popular white candidate"....   And as several black voters--and other commentators--have noted, the reason she is not as popular now has nothing to do with her race---but rather the unadulteratedly despicable campaign she and Team Clinton have run. And I don't think I have to detail the aspects of it yet again. Anybody who even read Mudcat threads would have a rather lengthy list---and it continues--now dear old Geraldine Ferraro is carrying on the good work of the Clinton campaign.

Face it, Hillary has indeed poisoned the well she intended to drink from in the fall. It was totally avoidable, totally stupid, and totally Clinton---win at any cost. An attitude which, it doesn't seem they will ever learn, has a sizable downside.

And Rig--

"kind of scary..."   You mean that a black man might possibly win the presidency?   Was it also "'kind of scary" when Obama won the primaries and caucuses in Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, Vermont, Iowa, Washington State, etc., etc?

And if you think Hillary would have any better chance to win the Deep South than Obama does, you're sadly deluded. But he does have a better chance than she does elsewhere--for reasons we've gone into before.
