White people shouldn't vote for Obama for racial reasons?

I guess if you engage in race-based politics, as Obama has, then that's the logical conclusion since he hasn't yet started a "White Americans for Obama" group.

Obama has one thing going for him. His skin color. A large turnout of color ushered him into the White House, and will do it again.

It's all the Democrats have left at this point. They can never go back to having a white male candidate so they better make sure their next oppressed group candidate is strong.

So what's yer pernt?

Romney's website lists the following "Communities" his campaign has started:

Juntos con Romney (Hispanic - and not even in English, fer Chris'-sake)
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Romney
Catholics For Romney
Jewish Americans for Romney (What, he can't say "Jews"?)
Polish Americans for Romney
Women for Mitt (notice the patronizing use of "Mitt" instead of "Romney" for the women's group)
Young Americans for Romney

FWIW, every presidential candidate in recent decades has had ethnic and other interest-group sub-campaigns. Obama is hardly the first to have an African-American group.

The Democratic Party will continue to put the best candidates forward regardless of ethnicity or gender.

The republicans put up mediocre candidates based on ethnic background or gender in order to pretend to be inclusive, but they want weaker people overall so they will be controllable and do the oligarchy's bidding... this goes down to the local level.

"The Democratic Party will continue to put the best candidates forward regardless of ethnicity or gender. "

Then how do you explain barack obama? You, by your own admission, supported Hillary Clinton. Therefore you thought that she was the best candidate. So how can you now say that obama is the best candidate when in your heart, you know that hillary is better? Just wondering.

That's where we disagree. I think there are so many groups out there who are angry with white male heterosexuals, and they look to the Democrats to take out their frustrations. That's why the Dems are now locked in to coming up with an affirmative action candidate.

There are a lot of people out there angry with having 20 years of their wealth stolen from them and once hey get focused on where the cause of the problem is, they will NOT vote republican. They aren't going to vote for someone that liquidates jobs for his own profit. That is the WRONG background for someone looking to run the government. The task of same is to do all the unprofitable yet necessary work this society needs and will not or should not do within the sphere of the private sector. A M&A guy doesn't cut it.

The point was that hillary would run if drafted but the democrats would be slaughtered by the minority voters who want a minority candidate - racist as that is. Besides which, I think that your map is far too optimistic. So do you or you wouldn't be arguing so much. You'd be sitting back and waiting for the inevitable.
