Clinton, Obama and the race/gender card?

I've seen a lot of posts about support of the Dem nominees and the demographical breakdown of who's voting for who and why. There are several questions about why black people vote for Obama...etc. The overwhelming majority of the answers to these are like, "I don't vote for him because he's black, its because he's the best, etc." And the same for Clinton, just substitute "woman" for "black." Generally speaking of course.





It is an insult to assume that a Dem votes for ___ just because of ____ . .....right?





So here's the question.





When Obama or Clinton loses to McCain in the general election, what will the excuse be from Dems?





Too many "good ole boys" couldn't handle having a black or woman president?





Double standard...?





From the same Dem supporters who are insulted that they are being accused of voting on race or gender, will be accusing Reps, of the very same thing.....





I just want that whoever loses, that they take the loss like a man... (or woman) and not cry foul

Clinton, Obama and the race/gender card?
I really hate to say this, but Obama will be our next president ! Why,,,,,because the news media is totally in the tank for this guy ! Just turn on any news station and you will see this, he is getting ten to one coverage over Clinton, and when the media is through beating Clinton up, they will turn on McCain !
Reply:people think in race are you, are in the past. We are not in 1965. We have different challenges: one of them is to be united.

high school BS

for the Dem. Candidates..





we are in war and McCain is the only one to understand

Reply:After Bush destroyed a country and went against his promise to not get involved in overthrowing a government, I thought enough people would be mad and the Republicans will lose the next presidential election.





But now...the Republicans will win the ticket again if Obama wins the nomination. America is not willing, ready or able to let a black man become the next president.





I am not prejiduced, just stating the facts.





So, Mc Pain will be the next president, unless Hillary wins. Then indeed history will be made.





Does anyone really think a black man could win the election when the big bucks will go with the Republicans?





I don't think so....
Reply:im a republican but i do like obama and will be voting for him
Reply:I t could be that its already a done deal. The REPUBLICAN$ strategy is , they won`t elect black,-they won`t elect a woman! so what`s that leave? WAKE UP AMERICA!!
Reply:i know. thats why I wish Al Gore were in it
Reply:i'd support both clinton and obama.. but i can only choose one.. why is that ur making this negative.. what about if mccain loses, will he take it like a man????? i understand that this is a first but my golly give me a break already
Reply:The Dem will have know one to blame but themselves. They will be so tried out from their fight, that McCain will just walk away with the title.
Reply:Your logic is inherently flawed.





So when I vote for McCain, my vote as a *woman* for a *man* counts for nothing -- Afterall, its just *white* voting for *white,* right? Wrong -- afterall, if I can marry a person of color, I can sure vote for one.
Reply:I'm a Obama supporter but if he looses and Clinton is the nominee I'd support her. Mccain is too much of a right-wing nutjob to even think about voting for.
