With grassroots Republican chicanery in the polling place a reality, Democrats can only count on winning by a large margin. Anything close will be decided in favor of the Republicans.
I recognize Obama as a candidate with great merit ( although I personally am not pleased to be rallied by Oprah Winfrey) But are we all about proving we are not racists or is it about evicting the Republicans from office?
The same is true for Hillary. Do we need a woman in the White House or do we need the Republicans out?
For that reason, we should look at the electability of John Edwards in a general election. The electorate are disposed to vote for a Democrat this time, but why should we risk it in order to score purely symbolic victories: the losing candidate was a woman or was a black? All three candidates propose to follow a moderate course. Why shouldn't we choose the one who is most palatable to Republicans or independents?
