Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (4.00 / 3)

nothing is over....not by a long shot.

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (none / 0)

Once retained so much skepticism about whether a Black candidate could even come close to winning the presidency. Fact of the matter is that the southern block of states still hankering for the Rebel flag will vote Republican anyway, regardless of what Democrat is nominated.

Still that Massachusetts Hillary-Obama differential is troubling. Maybe Ted's intervention will change things a bit. Also we have seen what impact Obama can have once his organization enters a state, and he begins to speak about his agenda.

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (4.00 / 3)

Does it occur to anyone that having a black candidate maybe the only way to really win the south. Let's just face it. If we can get 90% of the black population registered to vote and motivated, they will swamp the whites. The poor whites have low motivation to vote and the rich ones are not numerous enough to compensate. The blacks have high motivations. They are why more liberal than the white majority and would love to elect one of their own. We should have nominated an Obama years ago, only I wish he had politics closer to Edwards. Most blacks are ideologically closer to Edwards than Obama.

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (none / 0)

Just in terms of statistics, it may all depend on how far the white polulation has come in 50 years. Studies show that the youth are becoming less bigoted than their parents. Perhaps having Black quarterbacks on deep southern university teams is helping, as well as having minority newsperson speaking on TV every day.

Can only hope that enough progress has been made to overcome racism in presidential elections.

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (none / 1)

if 100,000 more dems come out to vote per state than repubs....i think we can overcome the rascist white vote.

and it looks like that may be happening.

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (none / 1)

following up on his niece, Caroline in her OP-ED Sunday NYT, published on same day as Frank Rich's 'you don't want Hillary' opinion piece.( a must read)

Ted must have read this article in The Sunday Telegraph, UK in the same meme as Rich - chaos in the White House:

"Further confrontations with both Clintons are inevitable. Indeed, The Sunday Telegraph has learned that Bill Clinton will play a bigger role in his wife's Hillary's election campaign than her vice presidential running mate if she wins the Democratic nomination,
.
In late night strategy sessions Mr and Mrs Clinton have decided together that the former president will stay in the spotlight for the rest of the primary campaign and then in the general election.
One Clinton camp figure familiar with discussions in her inner circle told The Sunday Telegraph: "WJC [William Jefferson Clinton] is going to be there from now on. Bill's doing what running mates normally do; he's acting as the lightning rod. Whoever is the running mate will have to get used to the idea that he is in the lead.
"Just as, when she's president, whoever is her secretary of state will have to deal with the fact that Bill can just get on the phone to Gordon Brown and go to Britain and ask him to help out on an issue. That's a fact of life." [.]

Re: The Clintons' Broken Compact (none / 1)

link to Frank Rich's column

The Billary Road to Republican Victory

a must read.. lays out what's ahead for the national campaign

.
"Absent from this debate is any sober recognition that a Hillary Clinton nomination, if it happens, will send the Democrats into the general election with a new and huge peril that may well dwarf the current wars over race, gender and who said what about Ronald Reagan."

So we've been vetted. Ah, the post White House years. Billary should not throw stones.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
