As much as I hoped it wouldn't happen, I'm afraid the election results in Pennsylvania yesterday could mean that racism has finally reared its ugly head. I think it's just starting to sink in that America could possibly elect a black president , & that's simply unacceptable to a lot of folks, even the ones who would swear up & down that they aren't bigoted. These white "working class" voters can't possibly believe that Hillary Clinton has shared their experiences; she comes from an upper middle class background, & doesn't really "feel their pain", as her husband once famously said. The problem is that people actually believed Bill, because he's a better politician (or a better actor-is there a difference?)
Anyway, Hillary's plan of winning no matter the cost to the party she claims to support goes on. Apparently she's staying in just in case Barack really steps in shit he can't recover from, & then she'd be there, willing & able to carry on. I guess it's smart; she can't possibly do herself any more harm than she has already- even the New York Times, which endorsed her, now says that her campaign has been disgraceful, so what the hell more does she have to lose? I just think that all of this negativity has really helped McCain look better to a lot of independent voters. It all makes me sad ,& afraid that once again, Democrats may have found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
