Old White People Like Me
Yesterday, Hilary Clinton trounced Barack Obama winning the West Virginia primary by gaining 67% of the vote to Obama’s 22%. The 45% margin of victory inspired the nearly bankrupt Clinton campaign, and led Hilary to exclaim that she wants the win to send a message.
Which only leads me to ask the question, what message is she trying to send?
Nationally, there are over 50 million registered democrats and yet only 400 thousand people actually voted in the West Virginia primary. And West Virginia isn’t just a predominantly white state, it’s an all white state with only 3% of the population being African American. It is also the state with the second oldest population in the country, Florida being the first. Not surprisingly another state Hilary cleaned up in.
Clinton faces nearly insurmountable odds. She’s behind in the popular vote, the delegate count, her campaign is broke, and despite the calls for her to to drop out, she presses on convinced that she’ll be able to sway the 300 undecided super delegates to support her.
Which makes sense that in our liberal, democratic society, where all men are created equal, Hilary would use her best argument “Old White People Like Me.”
Actually, she only “cleaned up” in Florida because Obama’s name did not appear on most ballots, due to Florida’s violation of the rules established by the Democratic Committee.
