Hillary : "I'm more electable with the racists"

[Bensthename]

Should this be the campaign theme she should be pursuing right now?

I don't think so.

How can she say "whites are voting for me but wont vote for Obama."
How does she know that? So, a white dem that prefers Hillary will not vote for Obama?
Does she think whites are that dumb? They would rather vote for McCain to keep the Iraq war going, keep the current economical state of the country, bad HC, horrible foreign relations, etc.

I don't believe that at all. That is what makes me proud to be a dem, we try to give all an equal chance..

1. Umm, I believe she cited a polling demographic

--carry on.

2. Are white's that dumb??

george bush "elected" twice. The local rags are chock full of letters to the editor from folks who are so concerned with the evil liberals being elected and everything will go to hell when they raise taxes.

Are (Many) white people dumb? Is george bush a fucking drug addicted, lying, military deserting sack of shit?

5. Definitely an odd question for anyone who isn't new to America.

7. White dems..

is what I am talking about of course. Sure some of them may prefer Hillary, but I just can not see them voting for a Bush 3rd term.

8. Ya have to consider

every one who steps into a voting booth.

3. 1. I don't like her current tack. 2. I don't support Hillary.

3. I'm in the Deep South and I can tell you that a Lot of people here will not vote for him.

That being said, I believe he can win. But he won't sweep the South.

Maybe he'll win Georgia. Maybe. That's about it.

Others say Virginia and Florida (and I agree that it's possible), but they're outside the Deep South.

11. I'll tell you what... you are right, he won't

show me a Dem who has swept the south since LBJ... and the civil rights.

LBJ was wrong... he didn't give up the south for a generation, but longer than that.

That said.... I think the end of the Southern Strategy is upon us, which is exactly what she is doing... and the beginning of the 50 state strategy... which is what also the DLC fought against.

Perhaps we will even see more progressives elected and the shift of power from the blue dogs to the progressive caucus...

Hey, I can hope

4. "Vote for me, Im the last white person running!"

:puke:

10. Or as they would say in the Jim Crow South, "Miss. Hilly is our Great WHITE Hope."

:thumbsdown:

[Bensthename]

13. lol, yup

[Xipe Totec]

6. So, in your opinion, white equals racist?

That's mighty open minded of you. :eyes:

[wowimthere]

12. Simply being white doesn't make you a racist. Telling someone they can't win

because they are black is racist. If she was really that good then she would have cleaned Obama's clock in the 11 states he won. There were plenty of white votes there. You see the difference in her argument is this.

Obama: We get white votes, black votes, red states, blue states...
Clinton: He can't win the white under-educated blue collar votes...

Listen to the sound of that. One is about what "we" can do and the other is about what "he" can't do. Extraordinary. Why? She forgot to tell us what she can do. Obama doesn't tell us that she can't get the black vote or the white vote or the working class vote.

He concentrates on him and... she concentrates too much on him too.

9. Shameful. She's campaigning like it's the 20th Century.

When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.
