...and (3)this issue only started to come up when Hillary was losing primaries and delegates, so it's clearly a cynical, rather amoral maneuver to try to nail down the nomination for the second place finisher instead of some clear assertion of provable truth. Which a lot of us just find disgusting.

<<<What I do see as bad is one of the Dem candidates for the party nomination publicly arguing that the other cannot be elected because he is black. (1) It's not only not clear that he is unelectable but there are strong reasons to believe he is more electable than Clinton. Which makes it doubly bad. And (2) such public arguments validate and legitimate voting on the basis of racism. >>> Isn't that the kind of thing you want to bring out into the open - especially when you think or can prove that it is untrue. I don't think Clinton has ever said Obama could not be elected solely because he is black, but when you combine this with his inexperience, the Rev Wright controversy, and the detachment from middle to lower class white community values - is that that not open to discussion? It doesn't seem like there is anything about Hillary that you do not allow people to attack? But, when it comes to Barack, we are all suppose to keep away from certain subjects. I wonder if you could just stand back a little and see the unfairness of your position.
