Is the Clinton campaign ready for the white backlash?
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 03:11 PM by calteacherguy
Is the Clinton campaign ready for the Latino backlash?

Is the Clinton campaign ready for the backlash across all America from the American people to the media spin that White Americans, Latino Americans, indeed any Americans who are not Black Americans will not vote for Obama?

I don't think they are.

7. There is quite a backlash building
They have no idea because they don't listen to the net roots, they still think they can force feed the voters and check out the Clinton du forum. Only 1 poster with 0 responders. I think there's a bunch of paid operatives around here. I'm just saying....

9. Pssst, not much action on the Obama forum either...
The "net roots" worked out so well for both Dean and Kerry too.

11. what is the back lash from? The media lying about Clinton statements?
Obama playing the race card and crying RACISM everytime someone criticizes his record? What is the source of the back lash?

The only back lash I see is that Obama, who pretended to be the agent of change, is using race to gain votes--and that WILL create a white backlash.

16. WRONG
You're wrong, Obama never played the race card, show me one quote of him using the race card. Just one.

17. Please...when he cried racism when Clinton suggested his war record
was a "fairy tale" when they cried RACISM when Clinton talked about MLK. He and his surrogotes even went to the press with a list of questionable statements the Clintons made that could be considered racist. They ARE PLAYING THE RACE CARD. And why? To get that huge black voting block in SC unified against those racists the Clintons. And it worked.

no, this is a post about what win at any cost really means-
Clinton and her supporters think hope and working together are failed strategys.

If she wants to play ugly- she shouldn't complain when she converts people to her way of playing.

:shrug:

See the problem with tit for tat?

or are we all finally blind?

6. Obama is responsible for creating this. The backlash will mostly be against him
It isn't Hillary's fault Obama sacrificed his long term prospects in a desperate bid to win South Carolina. The backlash has already occurred for both sides. Obama is down to 10, 11, 17, or at best 24%, all good for third place, among whites in South Carolina while Hillary went from leading among blacks to 13-24%. Guess who is fucked on Super Tuesday if this continues?

8. Your analysis is flawed
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 03:15 PM by calteacherguy
because you fail to see forest from the trees.

This election could very well in the next week become not just a referendum on the candidates, but who we are as Americans.

And the whole world is watching.

10. You are emblematic of your candidate
Hope and hyperbole and a dash of forewarned hysteria. SC is the Obamaniac's high-water mark, so enjoy it while you can.

15. You prove our point. You are implying we should vote for Obama based on color
Enjoy South Carolina...

18. No, that's not what I'm saying.
One should vote for a candidate based on everything.

12. I must say that I was mildly shocked at the Clinton tactics
It is extremely risky in the long run. Their hope is that the economy and everything else sucks so bad that being the nominee from the Dem side is enough to get them elected. Hoping for divisiveness and failure is not something I want any part of!

The OP is barely readable.
