Obama’s breakthrough says something good about the state of racial politics in our nation or the lack of racial politics and also the involvement of young people in politics. But in his silence in the case of the media ridiculing Hillary Clinton by a national press corps obsessed with her gender is telling.
And unless Barack Obama speaks, his campaign’s acceptance of the gender bias moved by our national media will remind many of Ronald Meagan’s acceptance of the race-baiting southern stragety because if Obama accepts the presidenct, because of utter sexism, a vicious gender attack on a female rival – the most famous female Democrat in history – he will set feminism in our country back a generation.
There is no hope for John Edwards. His cruel reaction to the news that Hillary Clinton got a bit emotional during a New Hampshire diner visit was a window into an empty room.
