By running a race baiting campaign, Hilary Clinton has won the nomination

Looking at it strategically,

Hillary and Bill Clinton played the race card starting in Nevada and S.C. They effectively made the democratic party's brightest and most shining star into Jessie Jackson II. They united 90% of blacks behind him. Yep indeed. However, their racist tactics from Bob Johnson's "hood" comments to Billy Shaheen's drug comments to Geraldine Ferrarro's repeat of her 1988 Jessie Jackson comment to Bill Clinton's Jessie Jackson comments in S.C. and saying "it's ok to vote your heart AA's, have united 70% of the white and hispanic vote against Obama.

And guess what, that's the majority.

Like Margaret Carlson said months ago, Clintons play race card, Obama may fold. And yep it worked.

Thanks for ruining our brightest shining light Hillary for your own political power. Good luck with the war in Iran that you plan to start when you get elected and congratulations on your DLC victory.
