Re: The day after: Philly.com w/ reactions to Obama's loss
Barf.
The last lady's comments were the most asinine of them all.
She felt bad because Obama is an "African American who should have had a chance to win"...
Umm, he did have a chance to win. Just being part of the primary process provides him with a chance to win. She sure tried as hard as she could to put a sympathetic spin on her response due to racism. I mean, the mere fact that Obama is a US Senator who is running for the office of President of the United States, and who has received more support than a white woman kind of negates that in this particular instance.
When asked why she thought Hillary won, she responded with "because she's a woman, and because of who she is, and what she stands for"...well Obama is black (equally irrelevant) and he stands for pretty much the same stuff.
