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.
