If you Clinton supporters keep making the condescending kinds of statements you keep making they very well may stay home rather than vote for Clinton.  She may need to have him as VP if she gets the nomination, but there's no guarantee that he'll accept it.  He's young and has time to try again.  I very much doubt that she will be his choice.  Given the fact that they have been the greatest supporters of Democrats in recent elections, we will definitely need their votes this year.  If they stay home there is a very good possibility that we will lose.

Democrats won Pennsylvania by 2.5% of the vote in '04
African Americans make up 10.7% of Pennsylvania's population.

Democrats won New Jersey by 6.68%, African Americans make up 14.5% of NJ's population.

Democrats won Deleware by 7.6% of the vote, African Americans are 20.9% of Deleware's population.

Democrats won Wisconsin by 0.38% of the vote, African Americans make up 6% of Wisconsin's population.

Even when you consider the fact that not everyone votes, and that some African Americans vote for Republicans, I would bet that in many of these states the percent of Democratic voters who were African American was greater than the vote differential between Kerry and Bush.  It's not a good idea to piss off a block of voters who routinely vote for our party when they have the population numbers to make the difference.

good for them?  That is a rather elitist and uninformed opinion opinion of the people of the U.S.

But let's say they are dumb, racist, religious and homophobic.  They're also sexist.  So you point evaporates.  If we were going to go for the good demographic choice, we would have choose John Edwards.  I mean we Democrats have only elected white southern men since Johnson.  She's not better chance than Obama if your estimation of the American people is correct.

Finally, on the late fall suprise: Hillary's going to have to testify in a civil trial on illegal campaign activities in 2000 in November of this year.  That's got to be helpful to Republican communications operatives.  Also, Clinton supporters seem to forget that there has been 10 years since impeachment.  In that time, there have questionable donations to the Clinton foundation (from foreign nationals and either pardon recipents or family members of pardon recipents).  There has also been in those ten years a convicted fugitive fundraiser Mr. Norman Hsu that has been a prominent element of the Clinton fundraising machinery.  I don't think she did anything wrong in those situations (like before and like with Obama), but she's not vetted.  It's just become less a subject of national debate since she was "one of a 100."

HRC is not our only chance.  She's just a chance and b/c she's the loser of the primary contest, why don't we go with the winner?

As much as you people dream and have passion, the American public is dumb dumb dumb.  And as much as they are religous and homophobic, they are racist.  When you are a minority like that, whey your mere presence makes people uneasy, any excuse given will be enough for those people to not support you.

Obama has the stink of loser all over him.

Add some optimism to your cyncism, for god's sake!
