The gender or race should never be a consideration in the selection of the candidate for the most important office. However, if other things being equal, people will and are entitle to express their preference in terms of sex , race or age. Mcain and Obama have so far outshone all the other candidates. For this reason alone they ought to be selected. One represents the past and the other the future. No amount of negative campaigning is going to fool the American people I hope

This campaign season seems to be rife with folks making mountains out of molehills for ratings or for political advantage or for attention. Its tiresome and could, in the end, result in a less than inspiring candidate winning office. Clyburn should be more cautious about making that kind of charge on such flimsy evidence.

Too many people would like to imagine racist (or sexist, etc.) attacks where none are happening. Perpetual Victimhood, Incorporated is part of it, along with neurosis and delusion (more blatant than any far rightists' stereotypical paranoid conspiracy).

Honestly, I think its going too far to view everything that happens during a campaign through a racial lens. Saying Obama's strategy is a fairy tale is about policy,and is not a racial slur. Making it about race will lose support in the long run for Obama, even if it helps him with African Americans. Clyburn does a disservice to Obama, who, up until now has not tried to use the race card (to his everlasting credit). The Clintons have many flaws, but racism is not one of them.
