8. the same reason they chose Clarence Thomas over Anita Hill
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 10:22 PM by dsc
race trumps gender. I could have told you this would happen. I felt Hillary would win only because Obama would be out before it got to electorates with large numbers of black voters. But once it got to those electorates, I knew that black women would flock to him. Anyone who hangs around black people at all could have told you this would happen. On edit, they have every right to do that, it should be stated. I know the Thomas/Hill thing may be seen as an unfair comparison but I think it is apt. Thomas survived largely because enough blacks, including black women, supported him and disbelieved her to get southern Democrats, who were dependent upon black votes, to vote for him.
