The Young Turks

    One of Franks reasons for being for Hillary is he thinks the country is too racist to elect Obama. I sure hope he is wrong, but that is no excuse not to support him if he is the best candidate, being against him because the racists wont vote for him is almost as bad as being racist youself. In any case, the primaries have also disproven this to some extent as he has racked up some big wins in lily white states (not to say that lily white means racist, but it discounts the Tom Bradley effect). Frank later contradicts himself when discussing the 'bitter' comments. He disagrees with what he calls the liberal view that the country is 'benighted and prejudiced'. He thinks we're racist but not prejudiced? Maybe he's right and the country is not ready to elect a black candidate, but that does not mean we should not try, but not because he's black, but because I think he has the best qualifications and positions on what matters to the country right now.

    Where in the hell did this elitist crap come from? From Hillary thats where. I've not heard anyone in this whole campaign say that Obama is an elitist until Hillary said so. Now all the Hillary lemmings are parrotting the line, 'oh he's an elitist!'  Anytime someone starts throwing insults around, I suspect that person might be more guilty of what they accuse. (republican sex-capades anyone) Don't you think Hillary is just a tad bit elitist and condacending herself? Remember her fake southern drawl a while back, she is always pulling this 'I'm one of ya'll, really'. Really, like in 109 million ways, really?

    Bottom line here - McCain't can not be allowed to win! I think Obama is the best candidate, and I believe he has the best chance of beating McCain't. However, If Hillary gets the nomination, I'll support her. She or Obama will work to get us out of Iraq, and to undo the Bush damage to the country, but I don't think she will work toward any fundamental changes in the way Washington works. She will leave the whole influence peddling lobbyist situation right where it is (Mark Penn?). gObama!
