Obama campaign manager: Most racists are voting for McCain anyway

David Lindsay

Do the Democrats deserve the black vote ever again?

Not if the superdelegates look at what is now the mathematical impossibility of Hillary Clinton's being nominated without their support and duly give it, thereby declaring once and for all that even a dark-skinned mixed-race person, with only marital ties to African-American culture, has to yield to a WASP who was nothing but a high society hostess when he was a State Senator.

Still, I really do doubt that any white person one of whose parents was an immigrant whose first language was not English, and who thus has close family ties to some of the protagonists in a feud for control of a European country, could become a potential President of the United States.

Mr Plouffe has just handed over another reason why Obama is unelectable. He, and now they his team, are just handing ammunition over to the growing doubts about him.

Great anti Obama article.

Realistically, as an American, I have to say that while politically stupid to articulate, Plouffe's comments are spot on.
