WAPO story I'm waiting for: "Edwards' Appeal to Whites Remains an Open Question"

[beaconess]

"Looking around at the overwhelmingly {black} audience that was applauding {former Senator John Edwards'{ speech at the {Riverside Church}, {Father John Caucasoid} expressed both satisfaction and concern.

{Caucasoid}, who said he was the only {white} person in the crowd, was thrilled that {Edwards}, {one of hundreds of white former senators}, could engender such enthusiasm from a {black} audience because it offered further proof that the {North Carolina} Democrat would be a formidable presidential candidate. But {Caucasoid} also worried that in order to run successfully {Edwards} would have to become a different kind of politician than the one who earned the trust of voters {in the predominantly white North Carolina} as a {U.S. Senator} before he was {left the Senate in 2005}
. . .

"How does he identify himself?" asked {Caucasoid}, who was pastor to {some white guy who's been dead for 20 years}. "Will he continue to be {a white person}, or will he become some kind of new creation?"

...
The question of how {Edwards} chooses to define and approach race looms large as he moves closer to formally launching his campaign next month. Although he rides a wave of enthusiasm among Democrats who like his vision of a different kind of politics and see him as an alternative to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), it is not clear that his multiracial message can excite {white} voters hungry for affirmation of their top concerns.

Of course, the Post would never run such a stupid piece about a white candidate. But they have no problem putting this idiotic article about Barack Obama on the front page.

1. I'll kick it my own self . . .

[stray cat]

2. I've hear Hillary's appeal to women

[beaconess]

3. But I don't see front page stories about how Hillary just isn't popular with women

because every woman in America doesn't support her.

As I said, this was a stupid article.
