The Clintons didn't pull the race card in this campaign, Obama did.
So to say they will destroy the democratic party, that's taking a big jump. The damage was done long ago. While I am a registered Independent, I tend to lean towards Dems, but I do not agree with all of their values.
Personally I am more concerned with the damage that the current administration has done to the country.

Of course, I would have to disagree. I'm an independent as well and lean toward libertarian, but the Clintons really need to be stopped. I would hate to have another Clinton Presidency where absolutely nothing gets done, because one thinks with his pants and the other wants to wear them.

I always thought the Democrats were all for the African-Americans and the mean Republicans were all for the rich white guys. I do think that it is wrong when a party favors one race over another. So how are they trying to split the blacks and why cannot the African Americans decide for themselves? Anyway if they tend to vote for Obama, they will still vote for the Democrats. I did not hear about the
Republicans putting up a Black candidate.

Currently there are not a lot of African American Republicans, but this demographic is starting to shift as more influent African Americans will start to worry about the same things Republicans are starting to worry about. I think as the country stops thinking about hand-outs and starts worrying about the terrible values we are teaching our children, we will start to shift again. Demographics is interesting to me.

Everything the Clinton's have done has been calculated. After they lost in Iowa they freaked out. Her Crying won them New Hampshire and they figured more negativity could bring down Obama's great message of hope. America got wise to Bill's dirty tricks though and with the South Carolina vote I think the Clinton's are forced to campaign above table now.
They definitely hoped to divide the Democratic party into black and white meaning she'd slimly lose in SC but win on Super Tuesday. Their master plan backfired as Obama got more than double her vote and of all demographics. Bill & Hillary Clinton are people of such low ethics they make me sick.

Thanks for commenting. I think this strategy will not pay off, if the Clintons become the nominee, they might lose to a McCain or Huckabee that share a lot of values with Southern African Americans.
