So let me get this straight: Obamists are sexists, and Clintonists are racists?
Come on, fellas. This is getting ridiculous. It's embarrassing. These two campaigns may have given us a taste of what might be unleashed against the GOP in November: If you criticize us, you're a bigot. I don't think this sort of garbage will resonate well with the public.

I suggest any undecideds here vote for Edwards. It's becoming apparent that Clinton and Obama, by having their campaigns make these outrageous claims, are choosing to make their sex/race the centerpiece of their campaigns. Edwards has never done that and keeps his eye on the ball, which is fighting for the working and middle class American. Or maybe you think he's both a racist and a sexist.

6. both Clintons have made some major gaffes recently
and they have had to cover themselves. I think their advisors aren't on the ball?

2. No. Neither is true. And frankly,
the Clinton camp is the only one talking about people playing the race card, and the Clinton camp is not claiming anyone is sexist. These are both media-manufactured issues.

3. I'm not a "fella" you racist! I mean sexist! I mean...
John Edwards is not getting as much press because he is the candidate with the white penis and it just doesn't make sexy news ("sexy news" meaning getting much press coverage). so to speak.
