This is the most historical primary in the history of our country. A woman and an African American are vying for the democratic ticket for the first time in our countries- almost- 300 years of existence. The sad part is that, while we've made leaps and bounds as far as equality is concerned, we are still not quite there. The simple truth is that if things continue to shape out the way they are we could see a racial divide between democrats and a sure republican victory come November.If Obama controls the popular vote handily, but does not clinch the democratic nomination due to back-door Clinton/Super Delegate deals, we will see a "Los Angeles" type outcry from the African American population of this country. Clinton winning in such a way will guarantee an easy victory for McCain come election time.
If the democrats want to take a seat in the oval office they best get their act together and avoid a primary decided- not by the people- but by super delegates.
