		<description>Huh?! Weak response to what?! 

I am opposed to Hillary Clinton as a candidate and have made it clear that if she is the nominee I will vote for a third party candidate. Ditto when it comes to Obama.

But my reasons have nothing to do with campaign tactics, my reasons are related mainly to foreign policy.</description>

		<description>Weak response. It's called make every weak excuse in the world to redirect what Bill and Hillary say and do rather than have them take owenership of their words and actions.

The Clintons used the race card intentionally in NH and it worked. Rather than apologize they have apologists like this web site try and redirect their actions or come up with weak explanations.

It won't work. Even Democrats have had enough of the Clintons.</description>

		<description>The MSM contributes to making it a battle of cutural sterotypes. The myopic understanding of the "low information" voters are at not to go beyond the 9 foot recommended viewing distance of the HD set they got for the holidays. The picture might have more definiton to it but not much else.


I have heard of the growing economic pressures on the "black community" due to illegal immigration. This can be seen in the aftermath of Katrina.
In the next 5 years it won't matter what color your skin is cause the poor are going to be a whole lot poorer and there will a great deal more people in that catagory. 

(in quotes because I think it is not right to refer to someone's color just the "content of their character")</description>

		<description>"&lt;i&gt;the passionate preference for one particular candidate threatens to undermine the once unimpeachable objectivity of this site&lt;/i&gt;"

And it gets even weirder when you realize that the owner of this site claims he is really an Edwards supporter, and yet focuses entirely on Hillary as the next best thing to god and Obama as evil incarnate, utterly ignoring his own ostensible candidate.</description>

		<description>Another &lt;a HREF="http://cujo359.blogspot.com/2008/01/lawrence-odonnell-is-wanker.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;specious charge of racism&lt;/a&gt;, eh? I'm inclined to agree, but given how this campaign has gone so far, I'm not in the least surprised. Heck, we went almost a day without one.

I think that all you have to do is look at the difference between the expected results and the actual ones to understand that this charge doesn't make sense. A white guy who is that much of a bigot isn't likely to favor a white woman as a candidate, either. If anyone had benefitted from such a "Bradley effect", it would have been Edwards. Yet he did no better than expected. Obama also did about as expected.

It's pretty clear that what happened was that Clinton got many of the undecided and second-tier candidate votes, and perhaps some help from elsewhere. "Elsewhere" would probably mean voters the polls didn't count, I suppose, or independents who decided to vote for candidates in a different party. Turnout appears to have been higher than normal. Not at all surprising given how many candidates there were on both sides.

Sadly, this should be a cautionary tale about freely throwing around words like "racism" and "sexism", but I know better than to expect it will have any effect.</description>

		<description>Now, that has to be truest thing I've read here in a while. There's no doubt that all these "isms" exist, and they work against one candidate or another.

I've known racists, and I can tell you that there is absolutely no doubt when you encounter one. None of the Democratic candidates is such a thing, and none wants to be associated with them. I think the charges of sexism are equally specious. As Shirin points out, no one has offered any real proof.</description>
