Unelectability Is Just an Elusion for Racism
Senator Clinton is ducking the issue that probably won her the ten-percentage-point victory in the Pennsylvania primary election. It was reported on the Brian Lehrer Show (WNYC 23 April 2008) that as many as 16% of Clinton supporters in that contest would not vote for an African-American in the general election.
Senator Obama’s supporters, God bless them, have chosen to disregard that hurdle standing in the way of his path to victory over the Republican candidate for the Presidency. They are determined to use the 2008 election as a tool for bringing out the country’s higher principles. Unfortunately, we may not be ready and the stakes are too high to withstand another four or eight years of warfare and national financial ruin in exchange for fighting a losing general election campaign.
