Clinton Jokers Still Playing the Race Card
As predicted, the Clintons played the race card early. Still, Obama came out ahead by one delegate in Nevada. You wouldn't know it by the press coverage claiming that Hillary had won Nevada.

Yesterday, Obama routed Hillary in South Carolina. Bill Clinton had been campaigning for Hillary in South Carolina thinking that he has a good relationship with African-Americans since he was called "America's First Black President."

However, that relationship, if it ever existed, soured in the South Carolina primary. Bill was campaigning on the untrue notion that Obama was only going to get votes in South Carolina because of his race.

While Obama did get a vast majority of the black vote, he got a vast majority of overall votes, 55%. Clinton only received 27% and Edwards trailed with a mere 18%. That surely transcends any race issues.

Now, the Clintons are playing the race card in a new way. Bill is already saying that Obama's win was a race issue. Of course, Bill and Hillary are trying to portray it as Obama playing the race card to win South Carolina. Yet. Obama has said very little about the race issue.

With the democrat party and the liberal media firmly behind the Clintons, it is doubtful that Obama will win the party's nomination for president. With a black man in the White House, the democrats and the liberal media will have lost their power. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will be out of business. Ironically, if Obama wins the party's nomination and then goes on to win the presidency, the entire democrat party would have a dramatic shift in power.

While none of the democrats would do this country any good as none have the experience nor the intelligence to make decisions beyond their own greed, Obama would be a huge turning point in American politics. The democrat party would be forever changed, and that's a good thing.
