Because only females have grade school crushes? That's your projection. I hope you'll own it. I like, though, how you make a generalization about Hillary supporters not being good Democrats and then take offense at my grade-school comment, which I at least labeled a generalization in previous posts.
That's cool how you referenced a case.
I'm so far from the end of my tether right now that I reckon I could knit myself some socks with the slack.
my friend...there is NO such thing as racism as there is no such thing as race...it is colorism...colorists...the integumentary system...and prejudices marking a person because of partial physiognomy...suggesting that race exists or racism is like saying the world is flat...or there is such thing as manifest destiny.that said...richardson will assist obama with the west... if you must label obama he is neither black nor white...if you must label...he is primarily kenyan american and irish american.however aye think hiliary has already done irrepairable damage...

Given that your candidate was all-to-ready to connect his unfortunate, voluntary association with someone as repugnant as Jeremiah Wright to the very serious issue of racism for his own political benefit, I wouldn't expect him (or many of his supporters) to take a discussion of any "ism" not beneficial to his campaign all that seriously.
My you are a spunky one, Martin.I've refrained from this discussion for the sake of my sanity. I think everyone knows that I think Clinton race-baited throughout the campaign and that both Clinton and Obama supporters have engaged in some really vicious racist and sexist rhetoric, as well as general meanspiritedness, toward each other and the other candidate. I'll leave it at that.

Grander, more qualified people than any of us will be writing about the past six months for years to come. With the benefit of space and time, and the lack of immediate, personal involvement, hopefully they will come to inspired, insightful, intriguing conclusions that will be valuable to those studying what was a truly historic election.
