Support for Obama
"First thing that's pissing me off is everyone insisting that black people are racist for voting for Obama. Black people also voted for Kerry, for Gore and for Clinton--in huge numbers. When blacks vote for Obama, all of a sudden we're intolerant? WTF!"
I'd say that support for Obama is pretty broad. It is certainly not confined to black folks - I am not black. There are many people who feel that Mr. Obama is doing a fine job providing a broad new and expansive view of our nation. He is attracting many types of person. he attracts whites, students LOTS OF STUDENTS, women, men, blacks, browns and all those uncomfortable with Her Inevitabilityness. He gets huge contributions, and is WAY ahead of the Clinton folks right now in contributions.
I believe that the NM situation is very interesting. Here we have a very Hispanic state, and Obama is neck-and-neck with Clinton. If the IDIOTS in the NM Democratic Party would have taken their heads out of their butts, they might have printed enough ballots. As it was, there were roughly 25 % of needed ballots available. That's just appallingly shocking. There have been PLENTY of amazing things this primary season, and we know only one thing for sure - turn out is WAAAAY up, and the New Mexico Democratic Party seems to have missed that totally. In fact, I believe that the New Mexico Democratic Party Chairman said that turnout would be small. What an idiot.
Mr. Obama is poised to have a good 2-3 weeks. The Potomac Primary will be very good to him, and the Ohio primary is not out of reach. Texas? If NM goes Obama, many amazing things will happen.
I do know that it is time to turn our attentions to Mr. McCain, and stop the relentlessly petty infighting that so many false Democrats seem to love. We need to discuss our differences fairly, and save the live ammo for Mr. McCain. For those false Democrats still fighting within our party, you are served notice that this is becoming embarrassing and in very bad form.
