Oh, is that your subtle way of saying I'm racist? If you're going to say it, say it big shot! I should have known a narrow mind would throw out the
insults. I could care less that he's black and you know it! I for one would have loved to have seen Colin Powell run, who even with his lack of
domestic policy experience would be a great pres.

No, I was saying your style of thinking is out-dated.

I made the point of Obama making that speech combined with being black vaulting him into the forefront as it did. The truth is the truth any way you
slice it and it doesn't take a bigot to see it.

Being black maybe helps Obama corner the black vote. Maybe. It works for him the same way it works for Hillary and women.
Just because Obama is black doesn't mean every black person will vote for him, just as the case with Hillary and women. They may, by default, get a
higher percentage, but not enough to give all credit to it.

Ok let's drag this out into the middle of the floor and let the cat sniff it.
SOME people will vote for Obama simply because he's black.
SOME people will vote for Hillary simply because she's female.
SOME people will vote for McCain simply because he is a white military veteran.
Makes as much sense as any other kind of voting without doing the research required for a logical excercise of voting franchise.
The idea that some topics are forbidden simply because they violate PC goes against the grain of Denying Ignorance. IMHO

Yada, yada, yada yada.
You know what I noticed there? The word some. Did you notice that? Does some mean all? Is McCain simply the republican nominee because he is a
veteran? Or would you say he did some other stuff right to?
If Hillary wins, did she win because she was a woman? No. So why does it work that way with Obama?
You can't win just because you are black, you just might get a few extra votes for it.
This is about headlines, not about facts. You are so biased you can't even see that you actually agree with me.
Read what you said, "some", and then read what the article basically said, "all". Yes, some can be attributed to race, sex, military status, etc.
None of those can win an election alone.

Total loss of reason by you man. Absolutely no logic in what you said.
Hillary is her name. She is losing.
Hillary is white. She is losing.
Hillary is a woman. She is losing.
So by your standards, the reason Hillary is losing is because she is a white woman.
Ohhh, it all makes sense now. We're using the retarded method of analyzing statistics. Let's not bother listening to speeches, reading headlines
and articles, and watching debates, we'll just look at their race and sex and figure out why they are winning from that.
"Hillary is losing because she is white and a woman."
That statement is just as dumb as what the lady this article is about said.
