The Election: Are the Dems Being Unraveled?

All of a sudden neither Dem candidate seems happy. Most of the pundits think Rev. Wright to be the cause of the Barack Obama's possible demise as the frontrunner though the figures haven't changed that much. Even Hillary seems concerned that McCain is the only one gaining from the debacle surrounding Rev. Wright and Barack Obama. I never doubted how many folks in this country are racist and ignorant of African American perspectives and religious life. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Obama is not Rev. Wright. Clinton and Obama have both been weakened by the long struggle for number one. Hillary might catch up but at what cost to her integrity and the country.
Does she have to walk over Obama's still breathing body on her way to losing to McCain?

The future is almost here and it seems unseemly. I supported Hillary and still wish her well ( I sent her money last week) but I am concerned. It is as if both candidates will arrive at the barn door bloodied and panting with no clothes on left for us to look at. If Obama can't make it to the barn will his supporters vote for Hillary. Many won't and will blame her and especially Bill for the mess created not Rev. Wright or any defects Barack himself may have brought to the race in the first place. This is a gloomy assessment and I hope I am wrong. This racism issue is big and it will affect both Democratic candidates. Hillary must reach out to African Americans in a big way if she want to mend fences.If there is any hint of her appealing to white racists she has to end it.

I knew all this white goody goody stuff around Obama was too good to be true. Prick just a little way under the skin and so called new liberal folds like the stuffed shirt he or she is. What a shame. I thought we all could be better. But the reality I know is not an apparition. What is left is a long road ahead that this new generation must walk. It is called working to end racism, classism, and sexism and homophobia.
It will be a long road ahead. Whatever the outcome of the race, we have a long road to yet to go.
