Dumb or What

All this hub bub about what Geraldine Ferraro said about Obama’s presidential race figures, I guess. Of course she was spot on. Do we really think he would have won Mississippi by so much if he weren’t black, or half black. Of course he wouldn’t have. To say it matters in an election if a person is a man a woman or black or hindu or muslim or whatever makes a lot of sense to me and certainly sways the outcome. To say it is racist is ridiculous and of course , Hillary had to say that she and her campaign don’t believe that what Geraldine said is true. Man, that’s a big one. I can just hear what her and Bill say about this when they are home alone. haha!

    Well, it’s true that his race matters, as does what he says, and where he was born, and his religion, and the fact that he’s married etc. She didn’t say all those things though, so what was her reason for saying anything? She was emphasizing his race, to say that his campaign lacked content, that people liked him only for his race. I think that’s untrue, and racist. The more the Clinton campaign can paint Obama as the “black candidate” the better they do, Ferraro was expendable, so they have succeeded in one of many underhanded dishonest ploys they have done lately.
