...four Clinton supporters essentially admitted to pollsters that they cast racist votes! Half the voters said Obama at least "somewhat" shares the crackpot views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright-and these were Democratic voters! Barely a third of Clinton's supporters said they'd vote for Obama over McCain. Sure, they're in the heat of a bitter primary, and America is not West Virginia, and November's a long way off, and partisans usually end up voting the party line. But those are scary numbers for Obama. Even in New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania, around 10% of Clinton...
Michael Eric Dyson's article spells out with exquisite precision the fundamental disjunct between two communities highlighted in the recent flap over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright [May 5]. Patriotism rather than nationalism remains one of the striking differences found in the majority of black American churches. An unjaundiced assessment of our nation's moral standing along with a willingness to call it stridently to account have long been evident in black church pulpits. Yet there is a simultaneous call to good citizenship and a grateful acknowledgment of our country's wonderful opportunities. In sum, we love our country rather than...
...only remaining hope lies in the possibility of enough superdelegates deciding Obama can't beat McCain. If he somehow loses both his North Carolina stronghold and Indiana, where the polls are split but Clinton has momentum, that scenario will still be possible. Reagan Democrats fearing the connection to Rev. Wright's fiery rhetoric and the supposed elitism of Obama's San Francisco comments will appear to have irrevocably fled to the camp of anyone but Obama. If on the other hand Obama manages to win both, he'll have relearned the art of political levitation, and Clinton likely will have...
...town hall response, Obama delicately avoided directly addressing what some say is the coded message behind "electability": that it's actually just a stand-in for race, and for whether the country is ready to elect a black man President. That, after all, is the stake that Rev. Wright's outbursts have put on the table, and in a way it's the question that's been there from the start of Obama's campaign. Obama's aides likewise won't directly address the question: I asked both his communications director Robert Gibbs and his chief strategist David Axelrod...
...They offend me, they rightly offend all Americans, and they should be denounced. And that's what I'm doing very clearly and unequivocally here today.' BARACK OBAMA, Democratic presidential hopeful, repudiating the comments of his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, after Wright repeated his controversial statements on racism and 9/11 during a speech at the National Press Club...
