I am simply shocked by the racist turn in the Clinton campaign. Why did they even get involved with G. Ferraro after her racist comments about Jesse Jackson several years ago? Why didn't they throw her off the campaign after her latest statements? Why is Bill Clinton engaging in racist talk? In the end those superdelegates will have to decide if they want to pay homage to the past and go with the Clintons and thus turn off the next generation of democrats who have been truly energized by the Obama campaign, or do they want to step up and support a candidate who is taking the party in a new direction and who has a chance of winning the White House. I will never speak against Hillary and I abhor the horrible sexist remarks being made about her. She is an intelligent person with fine campaign positions. That said, her decision to put politics above people in her vote for the Iraq War shows that she is motivated more by winning than by serving. And now, when the big test comes, she chooses disunity by failing to throw Ferraro off of her campaign.
