34. Uh huh, keep telling yourself that.

Clinton has used her gender far more than Obama has used his race.

I've pointed to evidence of Clinton, in her own words, talking about being the FEMALE candidate and how much SEXISM there is in politics. Yet you rarely, if ever, hear Obama out on the campaign trail talking about being the BLACK candidate and how much RACISM there is in politics. Just last night, he could have said he lost Kentucky because 21% of voters said they would not vote for a black man. He did not. His campaign didn't bring race into it, as Clinton brought her gender up when she lost Iowa. Those are the facts, my friend.
