Because He's Black, Stupid

That's the answer to Mrs. Clinton's racist question:

"Still, the voting patterns on Tuesday underlined what has been one of Mrs. Clinton’s central arguments to Democratic Party leaders in asserting that Mr. Obama would have trouble as a general election candidate. Once again, as in Ohio six weeks ago, he is struggling to win support from the kinds of voters that could be critical to a Democratic victory in the fall. Mrs. Clinton posed the question bluntly on Tuesday.

"Considering his financial advantage, the question ought to be, why can’t he close the deal?” Mrs. Clinton said outside a polling place in a northern suburb of Philadelphia. “Why can’t he win in a state like this?”

And what really makes me outraged? She knows the answer. Lawyers never ask a question they don't already know the answer to - at least that's what my dad's always taught me.

I take the PA numbers personally - it says to me we're doomed to the same shit, different year. And I wish I could blame Billary for it. But the fault lies with the voters. I've been told I should give her credit for being a formidable candidate - I won't. it's been my fear all along. We've had soccer moms, NASCAR dads - this year we have the Northeast Bigots - who will vote for anyone before they'd vote for a black man. And it really sucks.

"The results of the exit poll, conducted at 40 precincts across Pennsylvania by Edison/Mitofsky for the television networks and The Associated Press, also found stark evidence that Mr. Obama’s race could be a problem in the general election. Sixteen percent of white voters said race mattered in deciding who they voted for, and just 56 percent of those voters said they would support Mr. Obama in a general election; 27 percent of them said they would vote for Mr. McCain if Mr. Obama was the Democratic nominee, and 15 percent said they would not vote at all."
