who believes there is a savior. We truly are the people we've been waiting for. We'll get the kind of change we want when enough people have had enough. I think we're reaching that point...but I sure hope we don't screw it up.

Do you think we're screwing it up by choosing an African-American candidate?
Why?

and I'm an Obama supporter. I personally think Hillary wouldn't be good for our party or our country. However, I'm just not convinced that if Obama doesn't win that we might as well accept McCain, that there is no difference. I think there is a difference...and I'm betting that we can have much more influence on Hillary Clinton as president than we can on John McCain.

If Obama looses the general, this question will need to be answered. And we'll need to keep asking until this barrier is finally removed. If he wins, we'll never need ask this question again.

sell out a black candidate, who is rightfully winning, because of your fears?
that defines 'pussy'

party if they run Clinton despite Obama winning every measurable aspect of this contest.
Because it will reveal that while the Democratic party is happy to enjoy automatic 80-90% support of African American voters, that we cannot run one of our own for the highest office. This is totally unacceptable to me, and unsupportable.

because that it exactly what some unknown portion of this party's leadership is thinking. The party's screwing up all right. Because they are contemplating rejecting a superior candidate. People think this is mere manipulation or sour grapes or "revenge," but the Democratic party has more of its credibility on the line now than the leadership might think. Patently obvious that Obama's race is being seen as a liability by some unknown percentage party leaders, and he's having to suffer the rancid attentions of a vicious competing campaign because of it.
