I go to pro-Clinton blogs and have to wade through the anger and hate against Obama. Obama supporters have to be "right-wing," have to be stupid, etc. There is certainly a lot of anti-Hillary sentiment based on sexism, on her husband's record, and on her own record. But I also see some racism in those places too. Some pretty ugly racism.
I'm sorry, but I can't discern a moral high ground here. There isn't all that much difference between the candidates' positions, and in things like healthcare, how Congress moves is more important than which Dem is in the White House. If there are a lot more Dems in the House and Senate whatever healthcare plan emerges will be more egalitarian.
