I don’t get why people don’t look at him a little harder. It kind of reminds me of Reagan all over again–Obama is very good with words, but he is indebted to the corporate world.

As an aside: I’m amused to see that there’s a fair bit of denial that race is an issue still. Smacks of pre-judged analysis to me. I’d love to believe that race is not an issue, but when I see 80% of one racial group vote for a candidate of the same group, sorry, can’t buy it. I will also point out that there’s huge cognitive dissonance on this issue amongst a lot of liberals. They want to act like race doesn’t matter in voting, yet support things like affirmative action. So race isn’t a factor in who people vote for, but it is a factor in who they hire? Say what?

The liberal dilemna:
If we nominate a woman or a minority member we start out at a disadvantage. If we deny someone the nomination on that grounds then we are part of the problem instead of the solution. So, do we go against everything we believe in to win the presidency? Conversely, do we nominate someone and risk losing because we want to be true to our beliefs? I don’t know the answer, but it’s something I worry about.

The liberal dilemma is that “WE” don’t have ultimate power on how the party is going to vote. “WE” don’t nominate anyone. “We” participate, along with others, in a process. We have a voice, and can vote. If you are an uncommitted, or a third place candidates, delegate it might be something that one has to consider down the road. But I really think that we have to let the Parties nomination process run its course.

That’s Democracy…as imperfect as it is.

MSNBC just reported that Obama managed to tie Clinton with white male voters in South Carolina. Wow.

And CNN would agree with you about non-black age 18-29.
