From Andrew Sullivan's blog The Daily Dish
Here's what now seems obvious: African-American voters killed the Clinton candidacy. It is a fitting end to the Clintons' campaign and an almost Shakespearean coda to their career. The Clintons were exposed in their long-running exploitation and reliance on minority votes. No group was more loyal to them than African-Americans; and in the end, like everyone else, African-Americans realized that the Clintons are frauds, disloyal to the core, cynical to their finger-tips, and finally, finally, returned the favor.

I am African American. I agree with you fully. The Clintons have always exploited the black vote. They took it for granted without giving much in return. It was in South Carolina that we saw a Bill Clinton who was willing to use race against us. They figured that "Oh, they'll get over it." They greatly miscalculated black people because the pains of race and racism still cuts very deep with us. The Clintons either didn't care or didn't know this because in their "strategic" approach to winning, they figured that we would forgive and forget. No such thing with us. I don't think the Clintons will ever have support from blacks again. If she is willing to try to steal the nomination from Obama, who is winning it fair and square, then she does not deserve respect or supportfrom blacks or other voters. Should she get the nomination, I do not believe blacks will vote for her. Better to sit out the election than cast a vote for her ill gotten gains.
My fellow Americana's,my fellow Democrates!!
we need to do the right thing,we need to do what we wished the republicans would have done 4 years ago. we need to make sure with our votes that a bad,bad horrid man does not take the highest office in our land.
8 years ago the republicans voted for bush and we democrates were very sad,than 4 years ago we figured no way would we let that happen again,but alas bush won again. 8 years of pure hell for all to share.
but this time its not the republicans that have the horrible candidate! its us the democrates that have the horrid man that will destroy America.its is us the democrates that must do the right thing and vote for the best person running and that man is McCain.
the dnc has done everything it can to make sure we have no choice of a president.
we have never been huge Hillary supporters but she is better than obama,we would vote for her,barack we will never vote for.
do we like john McCain??? no not really!!!
do we respect john McCain??? yes we do!! he is a good man.
do we want john McCain as president?? no,but he is better than obama!!!
we are a small group of democrates called keepers that just do not think barack obama cares about our united states of America.
we keepers will vote in this election and if our choice is barack obama or john McCain,we will have no choice but to vote for john McCain.
barack obama will destory and divide our United States of America!!! We the people must stand united and stop him or divided we fall!!!
