    Again, Jeb ...

    If you honestly believe the Obama campaign played the race card to slander Clinton and her supporters as racists and that Clinton and her surrogates are blameless so far as injecting race / gender divisions ... attempts to win you over are a waste of time.

    Let's get real here: You don't want to be "won over." You want Obama and his supporters to soothe your smarting ego by kissing your ass.

    I will recognize that Obama is a fair man, or at least a resonable man, when he acknowledges that Clinton got 50% of the vote and deserves a place on the ticket.

    Great. So if Obama offers Clinton a place on the ticket, even if she declines this offer, you are going to vote for him. Do I have that right?
