The Political Consequences of Bigotry

A race-based campaign that flirts with black nationalism and and racial preferences has negative consequences:

My Way News – Clinton wins Puerto Rico primary but Obama gains delegates
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) – Hillary Rodham Clinton won a lopsided, but largely symbolic victory Sunday in Puerto Rico’s presidential primary, the final act in a weekend of tumult that brought Barack Obama tantalizingly close to the Democratic presidential nomination.

The former first lady was gaining more than 60 percent of the vote in early returns, and a pre-election poll suggested she could wind up with nearly two-thirds support.

Too little and too late to deny Obama the Democratic nomination.

Perhaps enough to reverse the damage to the GOP caused by the know-nothing faction, and (hopefully) to give the Presidency to John McCain this november.
