Race and Hillary Clinton
March 13, 2008
This is the first blog entry since December, mainly because I have not yet decided whether I want to blog or not! (not a great way to build traffic for this site, I realize.) But I hope everyone had the chance to watch Keith Olbermann on MSNBC tonight, where he let fly at Geraldine Ferraro’s racist remarks and Hillary Clinton for basically tolerating them. Hillary is playing the race card to the hilt, in fact she no doubt has been relying on it all along. The amazing thing is that, contra Ferraro, Obama seems to be winning despite being black rather than because of it. Just one reason to be encouraged at recent developments in America, and all the better to see the Clintons for the despicable, opportunistic people they are.
