An hysterical lady in red for Clinton told MSNBC’s Dan Abrams today that Clinton supporters are not shifting support towards Obama because he hasn’t assumed Clinton’s campaign debt. Clinton spent herself millions into debt giving McCain the sound bites he is now using in ads against Obama. Where were Clinton’s devoted then and why should Obama’s supporters pay for the ads now?
When Hillary loses her second bid for the presidency in 2012, should McCain win in November, will it still be taboo to say racism was the reason some of Clinton’s supporters couldn’t vote for Obama or is the plan to go on cable news and shout that she lost due to it?
Unions stress over racism in the ranks
By Alexander Bolton, The Hill, 25 August 2008
DENVER — Racial prejudice is being cited among senior union leaders to explain Sen. Barack Obama’s difficulty in winning over support from white rank-and-file members.
Obama (D-Ill.) is counting on organized labor to help win him key electoral votes in Ohio, Michigan and other battleground states.
Karen Ackerman, political director for the AFL-CIO, acknowledged that Obama’s race is an important factor for some union members.
