The audience chanted "Race doesn't matter"...
"The choice in this election is not about regions or religions or genders," Obama said at a boisterous victory rally. "It's not about rich versus poor, young versus old and it's not about black versus white. It's about the past versus the future."

That's what "HOPE" and "CHANGE" mean.

1. It does to latinos
Hillary will win Florida.
Latinos are Hillary's best ally, as blacks, in general, are seen as adversaries of the latino community.
Obama will not get the latino vote, as was evidenced in Nevada.
I was appalled when I saw Bill Clinton on the news this morning bashing Obama's win in SC.
He compared SC to Jesse Jackson's win when he ran for President.
OOPS! Bill!! You did it again! It's all about "race" with Bill Clinton. What's up with that?
Clinton used to be "America's first black President" now he's David Duke?
Geez! You'd think Obama was running against George Wallace!
Why does it bother the Clintons so much that Obama is "black".
I guess Obama being 1/2 white just isn't good enough.
Being a HARVARD LAW SCHOOL graduate isn't good enough either?
I don't get it!!???
This is a very slimey game they're playing, and I don't like it.
I'm surprised at the Clintons ... and ashamed.
I will remember this in November.
