    Hillary loses indies, Obama loses old racist white people.  

    It may be time to cleanse the party of the Ferraros.

    •  I am a person who will be lost by (0+ / 0-)

      Obama because of his supporters attempting to paint anyone who does not support him as a racist.  He is the one who introduced racism into this primary and Sharpton is fanning the fire.  Shame on those who are responsible.

      I troll-rated you because of the racism comment.

      •  I wrote that b/c race was a factor in (0+ / 0-)

        Ohio.  the exit polls showed it.  Just b/c you HR it doesn't make it any less true.  I didn't say all Clinton supporter were racists but some are.  Some will in the GE refuse to vote for him b/c he's Black.  I'm sick of Clinton supporters playing this "you're playing the race card".  Your girl Ferraro fans those flames too.  

        If Obama supporters refused to vote for Hillary b/c she's a woman.  That's sexist.

        •  I think the Ferraro was pointing out (0+ / 0-)

          that Obama's coalition is made up of black voters, young voters, and up-scale Democrats.  If he were white, a lot of those white voters would go to Hillary.  I've heard a lot of other people make that argument in a less clumsy manner.

    •  They are NOT racist. (1+ / 0-)

      They are blue-collar, down-trodden workers, the same that Obama worked with in Chicago.

      They don't get his message.  It has nothing to do with race.  My parents fall into this category and I am very offended that you would call them "old racist white people."
