Obama rose above all that and Hillary and Ferraro want to put him "in the back of the bus", to quote another Hillary surrogate.

That was a Republican commentator, not a Hillary surrogate.

For anyone with an even mind, those comments are simply racist and unacceptable.

That comment made me laugh because it was an incisive characterization of the Clintons' suggestion that Obama could be her VP.

Fla. presidential primary re-do unlikely By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, Associated Press Writer
50 minutes ago


The chairwoman of Florida's Democratic Party has said the proposed presidential primary do-over is unlikely to go forward because of concerns about the combined mail-in/in-person election.

Still, Karen Thurman said Thursday she is asking Democratic leaders, the national party and Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton to consider the option as the best way to resolve a delegate dispute. The disagreement was created when the state violated party rules by holding an early primary.

Thurman will review comments from Democratic leaders and make a decision by Monday on whether to proceed with the do-over. But she said based on what she's already heard, it's unlikely to happen.
