Ok, what is the excuse now for the entire Democratic Party establishment not to denounce Hillary Clinton and for the superdelegates to come out for the Obama. If a Republican had made the same comments they would've been denounced as a racist:
Hillary Rodham Clinton played the race card yesterday as she dismissed Barack Obama as a candidate who will have a hard time winning support from "white Americans."
It was the most starkly racial comment Clinton has made in the campaign, and drew quick condemnation from some Democrats.
She's been on the defensive ever since Tuesday's big loss in North Carolina and narrow win in the Indiana primary - dismissing calls to drop out.
"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she told USA Today in an interview published yesterday.
[...] Clinton's "white Americans" remark drew a swift rebuke from some superdelegates, and private dismay from several Democrats concerned about reuniting the factionalized party.
Muriel Offerman, a North Carolina superdelegate who has not disclosed her choice, said, "That should not have been said. I think it drives a wedge, a racial wedge, and that's not what the Democratic Party's about."
Asked about Clinton's comments, Massachusetts superdelegate Debra Kozikowsi said, "That's distressing. I'm not even sure how to respond to that."
[...]Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said the New York senator could quit if she is behind after the last primaries on June 3 - a departure from his previous insistence that she'd fight to the August convention.
It is obvious at this point that the Clinton mob is out to destroy Obama in order insure that he doesn't win in November. In that way Billary can run in 2012.
