Folks, it’s been a long day, and I haven’t had a chance to something I had resolved to blog about early this morning:
On my way to breakfast, I ran into two former Gov. Jim Hodges and former Democratic nominee for Attorney General Steve Benjamin, and both said the same thing — if Obama won today in New Hampshire by as much as expected, Hillary Clinton has no chance in South Carolina.
Without naming names, Gov. Hodges said that based on his conversations, watch for some of Sen. Clinton’s black support in S.C. to suddenly declare "neutrality" in the contest. Neither S.C. Democrat would be surprised if Sen. Clinton, who had dominated the polls here for most of the past year, decided to skip the state altogether, in a last-ditch effort to stop Obama on Super Tuesday.
The big question, Mr. Benjamin said, was whether Mrs. Clinton would go negative on Obama. He speculated that that might be what John Edwards will be counting on, if he stays in it — mutual destruction by his rivals.

Hillary Clinton won the NH Primary using a classic tactic for a female of her station -crying. While I don’t think it was insincere, I think she let herself go to a place she would not have gone had she been winning in the lead-in polls.
As for Gloria Steinem’s excellently timed piece (to generate even more sympathy for Hillary; were the crying and the op-ed piece perhaps synchronized?) – yes, black men did technically have the vote before women – but Gloria, Ms. Steinem, conveniently forgets the tyranny that surrounded the black vote well into the sixties. Annnd, it’s not like the feminist movement really included women of color, who have NEVER had the option of playing “damsel in distress” like Hillary was able to do in the New Hampshire primary.
Do folk REALLY want to see Bill traipsing around the White House again? Seriously?
Barack Hussein Obama…
: “So, even if he identifies strongly as a Christian … is a man who
Muslims think is a Muslim, who feels some sort of psychological need to
prove himself to his absent Muslim father, and who is now moving in the
direction of his father’s heritage, a man we want as President when we are
fighting the war of our lives against Islam? Where will his loyalties be.
…and the whisper campaign begins.
Actually, you’re a bit behind slugger. That whole “OMG HIS MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSEIN HE’S A MUSLIM RUNFORYOURLIFE!!!1!” thing got thoroughly debunked about 6 months ago.
Nice try though.
Hats off to the Clintons. They are good at what they do. I’m thinking that SC voters are smart enough to not fall for another emotional performance by Hillary.
Hillary is a through and through socialist. Obama is a salesman mainly selling himself instead of what is best for this country.
Thompson or McCain or both is a great choice. Put them both on the ticket one President and the other Vice.
We’re voting for John Edwards!
A black man won’t win the nomination OR the presidency until he’s been elected VP – and Hillary would not choose Obama for VP.
Hopefully SC voters will figure that out in time to vote for John Edwards.
If Obama is a salesman, then McCain is Willy Loman.
What are people thinking…..better wise up……Barack Hussein Obama.
CONSIDER THIS:
(1)It is very hard to hope that Obama has any respect for the American flag or the national anthem at all after seeing the photo of Obama, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Senator Hillary Clinton, and Senator Harkin’s wife….what gives?
(2) When Obama took office as a Senator-he did NOT put his hand on the Holy Bible-instead he put his hand on the Koran….?
(3) Obama is a Muslim or was a Muslim.
Whatever…..the American people better wise up…and fast!
For the concerns above – – how could a VOTE for Obama….ever happen???
OBAMA – ENOUGH HOT AIR!!!!
