And then her campaign surrogates go on a limb and say that Obama cannot get the White votes

Chinu, your premise is false if you think her campaign is claiming race is the problem.

Hillary's campaign and her surrogates are arguing electibility based on the fact that there are a number of relationships Obama has had through the years that, when exposed and propogandized, could serve to peel off his supporters. Each event would peel off another segment of voters.

That's the argument....it has nothing to do with his being AA and white's being racist.

There are four trouble spots right now for Obama. Many will remain loyal to him regardless but how many will peel off? That's the question.

The four trouble spots, in order of importance, IMO are:

Rezko, Wright, Emil Jones, and Ayers

It's no accident that FOX and other right-wing organs aren't flogging the Rezko relationship yet. IMO, the silence is ominous.

I don't know how ugly this will get, or how much dirt there is out there. I don't even know how much of the racial stuff is intentional.

I only know that I like Obama a lot better than Hillary, but I'll vote for either one come the fall.
