A Hillary Clinton win is a ‘myth’—Politico
A very interesting article appears at Politico today, on how the idea of Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic nomination is a ‘myth’ unless Barack Obama is hit by a ‘political meteor’.

Mathematically, it appears to be impossible based on this article, though I must say that the media love a close race: it’s good for business.

This tactic negated the admission by the Obama campaign that once again, a new set of circumstances regarding the Rezko growing donor list and trial.
Interestingly, the speech once again enflamed the racist angle by comparing Mrs Ferraro to Reverend Wright. How can African Americans as a core group not feel like a lost 'race' in the United States when the 'race' is pushed out and roped in at the whim of Barak Obama when he first needs a launching base to make a name for himself..second disavows the 'race' while he says he transcends 'race' and ignores the plight of the Jenna 6. Once again he reaches for the 'race' to propel him forward in a caucus..giving his stump speech in 'black speak' accent on ya'all..throws the 'race' back in the closet as he denies his faith and once again open the wounds by declaring himself the 'uniter'.
Uniter of what? A country that has long lived, since the late 60's in relative comfort with all races and religions. My street is a great mix..we have black, white, christians, jews, homosexuals and a lot of pets. It is my choice as a free citizen to attend any function, church, lecture or movie, I choose. If I ever get the inclination to go to South Central, Los Angeles, I am as uncomfortable in that neighborhood, as someone from South Central, would feel in my neighborhood. The same goes for Koreatown and Chinatown. That is the beauty and the beast we describe as our country.
Our choice-not Obamas business or political ploy used as chicanery to influence an election. The greatest speech ever given on the subject of 'race' began when our forefathers landed on this soil and wrote the rest of the story they called the Constitution. It describes what I believe most thinking Americans long for..a place to call home.
All the while his campaign saying a redo was OK in MI and FL but working to destroy the redo by running the clock.
I have to hand to to BO as this is as low as it gets. To stir the racial pot to subjugate impropriety on the state level and gain enough media attention to disenfranchise millions of 'folks' by not addressing their voting concerns in two populace states.
Unbelievable-and CNN focuses on the dates of liaisons with Monica Lewinsky as the sole information worth garnering from 11,000 pages of documentation of data 'everyone' was salivating over that are obviously very public thanks to the Ken Starr authority.
Is there reality reporting going on?
I worked in Compton, Ca for nearly five years and regularly rode my mountain bike to work. I never had a problem and the thirty-five years that I lived in the Los Angeles area went whereever and when ever I chose. Living successfully requires self-knowledge, building skills, which are in demand, and building relationships with others. Anyone can do this regardless of his or her background or race.
So true! And carnage, and murders, and all the bad news!
Personally I can't stand the news!
Liberally biased Media propaganda machine. (except Fox)
Jack -- I grew up in an all black neighborhood in Camden NJ. There was crime and drugs, but I was never singled out (for better or worse) b/c I was white. But I think my experience was b/c we were "known" to each other in the neighborhood.
As for HRC, I think that there seems to be some compelling interest in making this a "race" (no pun intended). There is also the sneaking suspicion that because the party "heavyweights" are behind her, she will find a way to overcome a deficit in votes, states, and delegates. Curiously, when the Texas "two-step" of caucus and primary were combined, Hillary "lost" if you count delegates. Yet, all you hear is about her "big win" in Texas. Certainly no one underestimates the Clintonian ability for political shenanigans to get what they want.
Jack, I think that the time frame 1956- 1987 the first years that I lived in Los Angeles had more to do with it because of the change in attitudes. In 1971Tom Bradley was the first Black Man to become Mayor of Los Angeles. In any group there are successes and failures too. My family moved there from Gary Indiana and the migration of Blacks to Gary corresponded with grave social problems for that city. Gary was probably going down hill regardless of this change in demographics. And Gary became one of the worst slums in the nation. One more reason that I think that good ethical behavior is the most important human social values.
Steve, I believe you are right about being “known” and being a minority in my country this is how I have countered any potential racism. These days some of it is probably due to appearing in the media myself. But it wasn’t that long ago I remember being denied service at stores—I still have a very poignant story about Woolworths from 1993 that I will share some day. I have not shopped there since.
I totally agree about Texas—and wonder why it was only NPR and a select few that recorded a win for Obama. There is some power being misused there. It is why, as tricky as Obama might be himself, there are far worse things going on from the Clinton camp.
Zak, interesting about the shift in California. You are right that there is no real association of race toward any particular type of behaviour.
The idiot clerk at Woolworth’s obviously didn't read the story of the department store clerk who was kind to Andrew Carnegie’s mother.
I think that it’s in Napoleon Hill’s classic: “Think and Grow Rich.” An elderly lady was in a department store and was ignored by most of the sales clerks, obviously thinking that she was a nobody. Another clerk talked to her offering her a chair or glass of water or some such kindness. He was rewarded with a large order for furniture. This is how I remember the story.
