"lilly-white Iowa"? That sounds like something somebody like Louis Farrakhan would say. Im surprised to see that kind of language on an msnbc blog.

"I dont know" either. I think what she meant was she likes Obama, but now it seems like he's playing the race card to win, which he is. I dont know either anymore.

Why would playing the race card help Obama?

Do you really think about the words that come out of your mouth?

Speaking as a "WHITE AMERICAN" and female, I think this entire article is stupid and false. I am a South Carolinian and I voted for Obama. I don't know where the figures came from that Obama received most of the "black" vote and a mere 10% of white votes. With the exception of two (COUNT THEM, TWO) counties, Obama won the entire state. The only county Clinton won was on the upper coast and Edwards won his own county. That is it! This is suppose to be about who will do the best job. I, as a female, have no problem believing that Obama's record speaks far louder and better that Hillary's. She wasn't president. Her husband "was suppose" to be and we all know where that went. "Mr. I never did that." Just because Hillary has been in Washington and politics longer, doesn't mean she has more experience as she claims. Being first lady didn't allow her to make votes, decisions, etc. and she hasn't been a high profile, do-all Senator. So, where is her so-called experience. I don't need to be African American or a man to dislike a dishonest person who is very much like her husband. I'm a college graduate that is now a stay at home, homeschool mom that bakes cookies for my child that Hillary not so delicately put down several years ago, while she stood by her man! Does she think we have forgotten? Obama won South Carolina votes black and white, he won South Carolina and I resent the race issue being brought up and suggested that he won because of the "black" vote. This is American and we are all Americans, or are suppose to be regardless of our skin or gender.
