Watching MSNBC makes me so proud!
They are discussing how Barrack will win the African American population, Clinton will win the Atlantic Coast, and Edwards should win upstate and inland. So, Obama's gets his homeys, Hillary gets the affluent limousine liberal white voters, and Edwards gets the inland hillbilly's.

It is great for our party that race was interjected and takes us back to politics of the 70's and 80's.

I am so proud.

:sarcasm:

1. Except Hillary's voters are working class and retired.
The limousine class is Obama's.

Have the demographics suddenly changed? Or don't they bother with facts of any kind? Have they figured out who gets California? Or are all those ballots being marked for Arnold?

2. This is WORSE than the politics of the 70's and 80's.
I've never seen such divisiveness and I've been voting for 53 years.

All voters are being "bundled" and it drives me nuts.

15. Unfortunately not :(
I heard it somewhere back during the Lewinsky thing, when MSNBC was Clenis 24/7. It's nice to see that, ten years later, they're still living up to their reputation. :D

14. it is common of the message the MSM can promote
The "Black Candidate" Can't get the white vote! I have been watching 1/2 hour and NO mention of how Obama captured the white vote in Iowa and New Hampshire. It is the spin they can create between now and February fifth and it is disgusting. But not quite as disgusting of the campaign that was the architect of this message!


Turn a known loss into a Win was the goal of the Clintons.

17. Jesse Jackson used to get a fair amount of "The White Vote" in 1988
enough to even win a couple southern states ("The Black Vote" was not enough to carry them alone). The 24/7 cable media likes everything all neat and packaged, and can't deal with things that can't be packaged into soundbites.

8. Msnbc coverage is biased
MSNBC has been so bias in favor of Obama and Clinton for the past month. I have been a fan of the network but have found myself watching CNN more in the past two weeks. Morning Joe, Chris M, Mika and Tim R are so anti Clinton and pro Obama it is sickening. What happened to unbiased reporting of the facts.

9. I just hope the people of South Carolina deliver these
vapid bobbleheads a well deserved spanking.

The polls have been wrong in other states, at least concerning the Democratic side. They seem to be much better at polling GOPs.

I hope South Carolina continues the pattern.

13. The whole race, Bill Clinton, whites. blacks etc discussion on MSNBC is a disgrace
I totally agree - it's the most disgusting media coverage I think I've seen in a long, long time.

Even these fools have been suckered by Bill Clinton. He's a master at getting people to talk about what he wants to talk about - absolutely amazing how much power that man has.

22. and you make my point for me!
I am a white 46 year old successful small business owner in Orange County CA and for Obama. But somehow this has reverted back to old stereotypes and one campaign is 100% responsible for starting this and giving the MSM a divisive issue to play up.
