What if I told you in 2004 that the Democratic party would run an African American candidate for president in 2008? I tell you National Journal will officially label this candidate the most liberal member of the United States Senate. This candidate will also have served less than three years in that Senate, with no executive, foreign policy, or military experience. Then I tell you that this candidate will lose the party's primaries in Texas, California, New York, Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Oh, and his minister sounds like Louis Farrakhan, and actually pals around and gives awards to Farrakhan.I figure we'll learn a lot from the super delegate tally. If they think it will be a lost cause, they'll vote for Obama - losing the election will be on his shoulders. On the other hand, if they think Hillary has a fighting chance even with the loss of the black vote, we'll see her as the nominee. Once again race panderers have managed to marginalize the black vote.
...Obama has been fatally wounded, and yet the Democratic party superdelegates, who exist solely to prevent such a catastrophe in a close primary battle, can do nothing about it. If they hand the nomination to Clinton, the party loses the black vote, and Clinton cannot win without those votes.
