Black Voters in the South and what it means for Democrats

[hertopos]

I was talking to my husband this morning about the last night SC result.
He pointed out something I have not thought about so far.

Remember SC has been red state for oh so long. And lately, I, learned that 50% of SC are African American. In other words, how could it be so red for so long?

I do believe the victory in SC is a huge victory for African Americans. Not the way you think. I believe there are many many first black voters came out for the first time because of Obama. This is very important. Both my husband and I are Hillary supporters;however, it is very important for Democrat future that black voters are now no longer disenfranchised because of Obama.

Regardless of what may happen next, it is very important for Democrats if more first time black voters will come out!!

I personally believe that both race and gender is a fair game. I don't think Hillary is evil not Obama is fake. However, from now on, I really want to hear more about policy discussion than gender vs. fake.

So, dear Obama voters, please stop making Hillary a some kind of monster. Let's face it, she were such a monster, how could she have brought up such a good daughter?

It may be good for Democrats to carry a very close race to the end. It is good for Democrat Obama to play a race card if it give hope to many disenfranchised black voters to vote for the first time.

I also say this to Obama supporters. Let's be honest. Hillary is a serious policy wonk. It is good for Obama to engage in real policy discussion with Hillary and general public to make sure Obama will beat Repub in debate if he become the candidate.

As a Hillary supporter, I whole heartedly embrace both Hillary/Obama or Obama/Hillary.
How may Obama supporters are rational enough to embrace such tickets?

1. Xenu. Zod. And Hillary.

Lots of DUers must be quite young, because they think this primary season is rough and nasty.

Heck, it's one of the most civil I've seen.

I'm not exactly long in the tooth yet myself, but I've seen some real bloodbaths, including the 1968 season when I was a kid.

If Hillary really would "do anything to get elected," then there would be a lot more of the proverbial blood on the floor.

So, who's fighting with knives and chains? The people on-line. Hillary and Barack are having an on-again, off-again slap fight.

2. Do you think people will be back to senses when primary will be over?

AS far as I know, no body has talked about the observation my husband made. As a Hillary supporter, the way Obama supporter portray Hillary some sort of she-devil.

I don't mind that Obama plays race card. Hillary being a mother really means a lot to me.

However, if we want to make a most out of this very close primary, Obama and Hillar should start focusing on their policy differences.

I am a realist and pacifist. I 100% opposed Iraq war. ( I actually opposed the invasion to even AFgan.) However, I don't support quick withdrawal from Irag because that is now so irresponsible. At one point, I read a lot about Cambodia and Iraq would become a real bloodbath if U.S troops just get out all of sudden.

I am hoping a little more people may read my Op.
