Race and the Democrats

**pvfan** · May 21st, 2008, 06:04 PM

As a democrat it blows my mind what the party has done to it's self. Well, no it doesn't. They have divided the party, and it's turned into a quite race situation. You've got white middle class coming out supporting Hillary while I've yet to see one African American who is not supporting Obama. Obama can't win white Appalachian states, he's getting drilled in KY, WV, Eastern TN, Western VA, Western PA, and OK. As a party how in the world do you nominate either one of these? Had you ran Warner or Edwards you would've won this election hands down. Yet, you've made it impossible for Obama, your nominee to win these coin flip states. You've got a fiasco in FL where you didn't even count your party members votes, a section of PA where he's going to get absolutely drilled, a section of VA (a supposed swing state in 08) where he is going to get drilled, and you've piratically given away the state of WV. Great job democrats you've just gave the republicans four more years imo.

I really don't know who I'm going to vote for. I'm not a fan of any of the three candidates.

They certainly gave them a chance, running an average white man would've won this election hands down. From a pure party standpoint why not just win the election? We can make equal rights progress once we get back the White House.

I agree with giving them a lot better chance then they had...but I dont think it has much to do with that, if the ppl think the black candidate is the better one..then pick him over the white guy...but this race has turned into the looks...that goes for Obama and Clinton...I love Obama, but I wouldve jumped if Paul was in it

Obama needs the black vote and young vote to come out like it's never came out before. And hope that losing middle class white America doesn't beat him.
