Clinton makes case for wide appeal - USATODAY.com
Everyone’s probably already seen this, but it is disgusting in the extreme.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article “that found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”
Look, out-and-out racism. No code words anymore.
This does it. We’re through. If somehow you steal the nomination, I will vote for the Libertarian. If someone runs against you for the nomination for your Senate seat, I will contribute to their campaign. This sort of race-baiting garbage is out of the Jesse Helms/George Wallace playbook, and you’re on the same list I keep them on.

Well, you only have to open a paper to read yet another article about how working-class whites support Clinton and blacks overwhelmingly support Obama. Nobody seems to flinch from using plain language to describe the color of the voters. It hardly seems a grave sin for Clinton to repeat this information—and yet, when “working-class whites” becomes “hard-working Americans, white Americans” it does sound like a David Duke speech, doesn’t it.

i was never crazy about her in the first place. struck as a pro-choice george bush. but her republican-esque campaigning has landed her on my list of most despised politicians, too.

They got the headline wrong… It should be:
Clinton makes case for WHITE appeal
It’s not going to save her anyway, unless she intends to run as an independent.

Sounds like she has announced the end of FDR’s Grand Coalition.
Don’t vote Libertarian, either vote Libertine or join me in voting for Cthulhu. Why vote for the lesser evil?
