I would be really surprised (I would say shocked but thats now reserved for mockery) if the Dems give him the nomination. Its pretty obvious his campaign recognizes this as well. He has completely abandoned the high ground and gone full out on Hillary.

i'm pretty moderate and have a history of voting both democratic and republican. i would really like to see a mccain/clinton match-up. i think it would really bring civility back to the american electoral process.

The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!

i'm an optimist. neither hrc or johnnymac are perfect by any stretch of the imagination - but i really think they could bring the discourse back to a more sophisticated level that would be lost on the obamadrones.

OH Gawd, I love good satirical humor. Civility and Clinton in the same sentence...haha I mean Hehehe heh!

Thank you for that little levity in a terribly brutal primary season.

Bwhahahahahaha!

is that it's only semi-satirical. i know clinton isn't popular here, but compared to some of the truly left wing types, she would be a breath of fresh air.

The type of fresh air that could gag and choke you, maybe.

I don't think Clinton and civility go together, McCain may try, she is a Senator after all. There is just no way Hillary will maintain a civil campaign. She hasn't against a democrat.

she and bill have been way kinder to mccain than they have to obama. mccain and the clinton have paid their dues while obama hasn't earned the level civility that they accord each other.

liberals are so deluded by his charisma that they fail to recognize that obama is incapable of winning the election.

don't get me wrong - i do have some liberal tendencies. but i am shocked at the democratic party's inability to see more than 30 days down the road.

After all, he's only uncivil to Conservatives. Liberal Democrats he treats with kindness.

he's managed to alienate nearly the entire gay community which is usually a pretty solid democratic bloc.

....she will smear McCain next.

... at anything the left does or says any longer. Barak Obama may well get the nomination on the grounds that he is the only genuine Barak running.

And any failure to annoint him at the convention simply proves the racism that runs rampant among Republicans :-)

I said 30 years, but perhaps it will be even further.

Newsweek has an article-
When Barry Became Barack

that I just read. I was hoping it would give me some piece of mind that maybe he was more authentic than I think he is. It didn't do the job. After reading it, I wonder even more who this person really is. Sadly, I don't know if he even knows. I do know one thing though, he's not the one to unite this country wrt race relations. That is for d*mn sure.

Wright is a man who happens to be black.

Benedict Arnold was a man who happened to be white.

Wright stands for himself, not all black people.

Benedict Arnold stood for himself, not all white people.

People who say or do bad things shouldn't get a pass just because they happen to be black or white or half of each.

I read the Newsweek article too and I wonder if Obama is revolting against himself. The solution is so simple too - he is first of all a person, not a black person or a white person. Just like everybody is first of all a person.

... it is entirely possible that before it is over Barak Obama's candidacy may possibly destroy whatever gains have been made in race relations in this country in the past 50 years.

Really? Because he asked us to talk honestly about race? Your statement is so melodramatic. Time is racism and bigotry's greatest enemy. The more we are around each other and the more time passes, the less racism and bigotry has a hold on us. I believe that firmly.

Until I read that Obama, product of an interracial marriage, "pushed away" a white girlfriend because race was so important to him. Years of influence of an anti-white bigot can do that. Seven months of constant bombardment with Wright's bigotry and attempts at justification could poison the well for decades.

It certainly doesn't sound like it. Obama is not some high principled non-racial cure for what ails us, he is an unprincipled hypocritical snake oil salesman --- but he is d*mn good at it.

It's not just time. It's what you do with it; hatred will grow or ebb depending on what changes happen over time, not just time itself.

If we continue to be "around" each other in hateful ways for a long time, it will only create a hardened culture of hatred. We need to change the way we understand each other actively, always fighting against the worst in ourselves.

The problem is that discussions of race today tend to reinforce paranoid race hatred because the idol of political correctness stifles good faith.

"Time heals all wounds" is a dream.

Byrd = Democrat

I think I'm beginning to sense a pattern here :-)
