Fact is, It doesn't matter about your skin colour or sex, religion or anything else. Just your actions and affiliations. A scumbag is a scumbag. Obama is a just another big business puppet
The "privatise everything" ron paul viral campaign is quite sinister too. A capitalist nightmare.

while i accept the original posters cynicism, in the short term. In the long term it is an interesting development for americian politics. it might be a little bit harder to polorise black and white americian working class on so called 'race' lines after this same for clinton. If irrespective of race sex or creed people are seen as credable on there own merrit that's a big change. The centre ground will/has shifted. the liberal agenda has reached it's peak. The left no longer have to be chearleaders for political correstness because everyone will own it after this. Time to bring new arguments to the forfrount.
