Hope

"If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think, if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope." Bill Clinton

“The divide of race has been America's constant curse. Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world. These obsessions cripple both those who are hated and, of course, those who hate, robbing both of what they might become.” Bill Clinton

“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on. [An AP article] found how Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me. There’s a pattern emerging here" Hillary Clinton

"Hang that darky from a tree!" Pennsylvania primary voter, presumably a white person without a college education.

So, it's come to this. Hillary is touting her overwhelming victory in West Virginia as the evidence that she should be the nominee of the Democratic party. Obama has to appeal to rural America, or we'll have cranky John as President.

What's the point? There is no point, I'm too tired to be clever. Just wake up, white people, don't screw this deal up because the dude is black. That's biting off the nose to spite the face. We have to rock in November. You have to get over the black dude thing, for Christ's sake.
