But does this sound as bad others as it does to me?
Yes, it does. And for the first time in this campaign, I'm sorry that I voted for her in the primary.
As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again,
So his support is now among the lazy, shiftless, black welfare queens?
I don't believe for a second that she misspoke, just as I don't believe that Obama misspoke back when he made that sexist "periodically when she's feeling down" comment about her.
It's just that....damn, Hillary's comment sounds so much worse than Obama's did, because his comment was only about her, and Hillary's comment is about a vast swath of Americans.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is what ends her campaign.
But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
Or more precisely, race-baiting AND class-baiting in two different directions. Two offenses for the price of one.
I don't see how it isn't over for Clinton, she'd have to pretty much have a really big win in every primary left and that's not going to happen. It's about time for Obama running mate speculation.
Problem is, she can still hurt Obama in the general if she keeps this sort of stuff up.
Yes, it does. And for the first time in this campaign, I'm sorry that I voted for her in the primary.
This, exactly. I've been more and more disappointed with the tone of her campaign over the last two months, but this is the capper.
ETA: ita, I love the map! Thanks!
I'm really hoping she'll drop out. It's over, the only way to win is to take it to the convention and somehow get a bunch of superdelegates to go her way. It's not going to happen, and if it did, it would be devastating to the democrats. OTOH, maybe that's the way it will go down, the democrats are awfully good at shooting themselves in the foot.
Did any of you hear NPR's story about the biological superiority of early motherhood and the nascence of stay-at-home moms? For obvious reasons it touched a nerve with me.
But then I read this Science Daily article on successful men marrying women with educations and work experiences that are similar to their own mothers and I felt oddly better.
The researchers discovered that 72 percent of mothers of high-achieving men worked outside the home after they had children. Among those men, three-quarters agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "Men are more attracted to women who are successful in their careers." Men who grew up with working moms were almost twice as likely to marry a woman who makes $50,000 or more per year.
Seriously. I have enough guilt in my life. I don't need NPR to add more.
OTOH, maybe that's the way it will go down, the democrats are awfully good at shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm pretty sure that's the way it will go down. I don't think she'll drop out. Though I wish she would.
This, exactly. I've been more and more disappointed with the tone of her campaign over the last two months, but this is the capper.
Tep and Kristin are me. Although I still worry about
1) what the Republican slime machine will throw at Obama
and
2) that Obama's "hope" is the new "compassionate conservatism"
