AP Does Their Best To Keep Racial Politics Alive

By: Pam On: Mar/11/08 - 3 Comments

Remember When Bill Clinton took heat in South Carolina for comparing Obama’s win to that of Jackson’s? Look at these sentences, and explain to me the difference:

  • a string of racially polarized contests across the Deep South
  • Blacks, who have supported Obama in overwhelming numbers in earlier primaries

    • He is the strongest black presidential candidate in history and hoped the racial makeup of Mississippi would work to his advantage.

  • Exit polls showed blacks accounted for a majority of the ballots cast in all but Louisiana, where they represented a plurality. Obama’s share of their vote in those states ranged from 78 percent in South Carolina to 88 percent in Georgia, while Clinton won the white vote with ease.
  • The volatile issue of race has been a constant presence in the historic Democratic campaign
