I don't mind people make electibility as a factor in their decision, but quoting the pundits on alleged negative rating of HRC is really maddening, for those pundits have buried HRC many times during her career and none has pan out. One thing that Obama supporters have avoided mentioning is HRC got most votes from lower and middle income whites which will be crucial in the battleground states. Sure, Obama got around 80% of the black votes in South, Obama supporters imply that those voters and the young voters will defect to Republicans in the general election if he loses to HRC which is totally false. I am sure some Obama supporters will sit out the election and pout if their man lose. To me that's an implied race card played by the Obama supporters since the beginning. As an Asian-American I really dislike the fact that nobody will touch the issue that an accomplished white female working for children and equal rights for 35 years with her resume got only 18% of black votes in Georgia, while an black(as currently defined by Americans) with minimal history on fighting racism(he's suppose to transcend race or post racial) got 80%, to me that's an elephant in the room nobody sees or sees but was afraid of touching or risk being called a racist.
