I think the Clinton victory today in WV goes to show
That we have a very bad problem as far as race is concerned in the country. We really need an Obama/Clinton ticket because the women and black vote will offset the racist vote and the inner racist vote that is brought on by the media.----
I don't know why there are so many here who hate the Clintons --- I mean Retardicans have been blaming them for the problems this administration had from the start and the media has been relentless as well.
Sure Hillary made a few mistakes but it was the media that concentrated on the race issues and the things that he didn't even say for weeks. She was just running against him so what do you expect.
I think it is time to join forces and unite and as the winning side be magnanimous.It is a lot easier for the winning side to do.
And I have a firm belief that Obama will pick Hillary Clinton for Vice President as he does want to unite this country.

1. As I've noted before - this is Appalachia
Race is going to be a factor in this area far more than anywhere else.

4. Yes
But in the North and South Florida (which is the north ideologically) where I am back and forth I know many parents who do not want their kids going out with the opposite race and I know a lot of people who say they would not for Obama because he is black. (In not so nice terms) and that's just the democrats.
Just look at the way the media plays the race card. I mean if someone's pastor says something how can you attach it to the candidate. If it were a white politician the public would say "Is that all you got"
But because he is black in a black church and Obama is a black candidate it is a "problem". And don't think they won't come up with something else.

It's not the racists I am worried about they will vote for Insane in the McCain anyway---it's the inner racists----and the best way to inoculate them is a healing process that shows Hillary Clinton fighting for an Obama Presidency.

2. Sam Nunn, Kaine of Va, Webb of Va would be a stronger ticket. Hillary zis a weaker option than any

of those. Chuck Hagal is a stronger ticket than Clinton and possibly stronger than some of the others listed. Sam Nunn is highly regarded in the party.

3. Again no.
There are other white female canidates that are more suitable than Clinton to choose from.
