Will the racial division backfire on Clinton?

I asked if anyone thought that maybe Ferraro's comments about Obama was done intentionally and it seems quite a few agree it was. I have to wonder would something like this backfire and make more white voters go over to Obama just to make a statement that they are sick of the race card being brought up ?

Will the racial division backfire on Clinton?
Its a deliberate strategy. Simple and devious. Its called race baiting. Get Ferarro to make an outrageous comment that will stir up the usual suspects - Al Sharpton, Jesse jackson, Charlie Rengell and joy of joys, Lois Farrakhan. If they succeed in getting all those guys railing about race on TV, Obama is sunk in PA. The price - Ferraro's resignation, but she's expendable and it was an honorary position anyways. Brilliant.
Reply:Yes it will and rightfully so

Reply:Actually I think it's more likely to halt any white voters to go vote for Obama, as they become more racially concious especially those that link his statements of "defense" as using the race card; only to remind them of the not so popular Al Sharpton. Benefiting Clinton.
Reply:I actually see it come home to roost in the Obama camp.


Race and gender will play a role....it has to.......not that it is right, it just IS.


Unfortunately it takes away from who and what each candidate truly brings to the table. That is all we should be concerned about.....what is best for our nation. The message should not be defined by its wrapping....I say take the wrapping off and read the message.
Reply:I think it can work either way, it depends on how each candidate moves forward.





Obama has to connect with Pa voters to try and make it close, or just cede Pa. and destroy clinton in NC (a strategy that only works as long as Fla stays unseated)

and it blew up in his face,, your going all the way to the convention floor.. And then your party is done.
Reply:It might. Then it might backfire on Obama, if his campaign continues to pull the PC card at every opportunity.
Reply:No, I think it shows that Obama's campaign keeps playing the race card. His supporters are bullies and call anybody a racist for not agreeing w/ him.
Reply:Isn't it so far? She's made a mess out of everything. She should concede and take a permanent sabatocal!
Reply:I don't know. Will some of the Obama's peoples comments backfire and cause some of the people to switch candidates. The only reason this is staying a racial issue is because people will not let go of the race issue, which tells me that a lot of people are voting on race instead of policies and experience and need of the country.
Reply:i hope it have a big backlash on the hillary clinton camp . this race baiting need to come to a end in this election
Reply:The racial question will backfire on Obama, and the US. I said it 6 months ago, I say it today, he can't beat McCain. She had a chance, now we are doomed to at least four more years of republicans. Report me, violate me, it doesn't matter, If Barrack gets the nomination, Bush wins again.
Reply:Yes, it has backfired. Me and most of my friends will leave the democratic party if Hillary is our nominee
Reply:I think it will work to his advantage, as all he has said is that it was a dumb comment.





Cuppa, not all supporters call people who disagree with him a racist.
