  Because it fits here:

  Mainly due to the sheer stupidity of the Hillary supporters that call Obama an "Empty shirt" and like to blame the black vote for you know, excercising their rights and voting for the candidate they happen to prefer...

  Off and on topic but

  Just what I take from a lot of Hillary's supporters' arguments

  If Hillary really could take McCain at all this election hasn't demonstrated as much. If she could have taken McCain she hasn't demonstrated it here. She couldn't beat someone who, if you believe her supporters, is a political lightweight whose main asset is the colour of his skin.

  She couldn't get the press on her side when Rupert Murdoch, one of the biggest players in the media, one of the guys who is getting frighteningly close to owning a media monopoly, was one of the people raising funds for her. If there was going to be a bias it was going to be on her side, but she kept on letting slip the precise sorts of comments and errors that the shallow American media finds so entertaining.

  And remember, the first votes she lost? Not the black vote. The young educated vote. What we saw in her was long before race even became an issue here - we saw someone who was more passionate about the impact of people fucking in computer games than the impact of people dying in the real world.

  And lets face facts here - if you are studying or have a degree there is a far greater chance of you not being a dummy than if you are a highschool dropout. You might call that elitism, but then I call equating white and uneducated with hard working racism.

  So please tell me, without resorting to "Obama suksors" or grade school taunts what makes you think she is the candidate who can win?
