Here’s REALLY what I think is going on. It’s all about the pressures that various Superdelegates that have said they will vote against their constituents wishes are facing. Apparently Hillary is facing a lot of defections.

But to be quite honest, this isn’t simply coming from black representatives in black communities…it’s happening with Reps of other races in non-black or mixed neighborhoods that supported Obama. I know Doris Matsui, as well as the Bay Area contingent of legislators are facing the same heat that Diane Watson and others face in LA. You see most thought that Obama would be washed out of the race by the time it rolled around to California. Hillary twisted their arms a nd they signed on, a bit prematurely.

In addition, if you go back and look at the record I’ll bet that you’ll find that the biggest critics of Obamas black “authenticity” came from certain quarters. So the “race card” was being played a long time ago…except then it was because Obama was not “black enough”.

Now many African-Americans are accepting that Obama shares a cultural experience that, in part, mirrors their own. It isn’t about race…but whether the candidate has shared a mirrored experience and can use that to help make the country more multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.

Ferraro: When I see John Lewis … a civil rights leader, why in God’s name did he change his vote from Hillary to Barack Obama. I’ll tell you why, because he faces — he’s not going to lose a Democratic primary in his district in two years, but he sure as hell will face one if he sticks it to Barack Obama when he has a greater majority of blacks in his district … I’m so disappointed in him I could die.

I look at Rosa DeLauro up in Connecticut. She represents New Haven. Tell me — I don’t care what she says — tell me why she’s endorsing Barack Obama … and then came to his defense on an issue like choice where he voted six times maybe, when he voted present — I’m like a lunatic about this stuff …

And if you are going to get all ethical about this programme, remember there only was a competition because the original corrupt Boeing contract was set aside. Remember Darleen Druyun.According to Wikipedia, Mc Cain sure will. Complex isn’t it?

They both denied at first, but I guess we have the truth(sort of) now.

You have to love the mantel of martyrdom she has drapped around herself

I thought HRC said she is not part of the campaign?
