First diary.
I have a very short question.
Would you rather win the election, or lose and keep some semblance of your self respect?
Hillary is openly appealing to the Democratic party that throw Obama off the cliff, and make her the nominee.
The premise of her argument is that racism exists, and that the Democrats will lose if they pick Obama. Hence, the language "white, working class voters".
Apparently the term, "impressionable redneck scum, that I (and I alone)may be able to turn to our advantage" isn't used in polite society.
If we pick Obama, we will lose the racist vote.
If we pick Hillary, we will (apparently) win the racist vote, and the black vote doesn't count because they don't exist in large enough numbers to matter in battleground states.
Hillary is cowdung, in my opinion. But she may be right, in that she could win some states that Obama won't. Of course, he would probably put some states into play that she wouldn't.
Anyway. I want to know how strongly you people regard your own self esteem and worth.
Would you rather win ugly? (and I mean double bagged K-o-tay ugly), or lose with Obama?
(By the way, I think we will win with Obama, so this is just a gedanken experiment).
