Obama's "typical white person" remark isn't going to do him much good either. A couple weeks ago I would've given him a 95% chance of getting the nomination. Today I'd give him a 40% chance. I think there's a very good chance enough super-delegates will move toward Clinton to give it to her.

If the super delegates do that and literally hand her the nomination, I guarantee there will be an uproar and McCain wins handily.

I personally will write in Obama's name when I vote, too.

I don't see the problem with the "typical white woman" remark. He made it perfectly clear that he wasn't talking about racism or hatred. All he said was that people respond to differences, like racial differences, with hesitation and fear. Using his grandmother as an example, he's saying that familiarity and mutual understanding breaks down barriers. In his speech he also refers to a similar skepticism towards whites from blacks.
We all know that a lot of us have such reactions to people who seem "unfamiliar" (often along racial lines), and we don't see ourselves as racist for those fleeting emotional responses, and I don't think we should. Slightly Xenophobic perhaps, but there's a difference between that and racism or racial hatred.

To interpret that statement as "all white people are racist" requires us to completely disregard or even invert the context of it.

I wouldnt' be so sure.  I only voted Republican years ago (Reagan) when I first could vote.  Since then I've voted Democrat every time.  If it's McCain vs. Clinton I'll vote for Clinton.  If it's McCain vs. Obama I'll vote for McCain.

Had someone told me a year ago I would even slightly entertain the idea of voting Repulican I would have told them they were crazy.

This "typical white person" wouldn't vote for Obama now even if was the only way to save my life.

He didn't oppose the revotes but he didn't get behind them either. Backing them h would've show he wasn't just another politician looking out for himself even if they never happened.

Why should he support them? They broke the rules and were punished. Period.

Politicians in those states broke the rules not the millions of voters. If they aren't represented at the democratic convention don't you think it may affect their vote in november?
