t exactly a secret that the press was solidly on Obama's side in the 2008 Dem primary. It was so blatantly obvious that those noted Hillary hacks over at SNL even parodied it.
The Clintons brought negative media attention on themselves through race baiting attacks on Sen. Obama -- not too mention their horrendous surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro, Terry McAuliffe and worst of all President Clinton.
And The Chosen One was immune from race baiting as well with surrogates like Reverend Wright, right? Give me a break. It's funny how people are channeling Geraldine Ferraro's remarks seven years later and they don't get tarnished and lambasted as racist for saying that African Americans only voted so heavily for Obama in the primary because he's black, and how there's a certain "segment" of black voters who will magically vote Republican once a non-black candidate is nominated. It seems to be conventional wisdom among certain posters on here that Hillary will not capture the 94-96 percent of the African American vote that Obama did. Gee, I wonder why. Why is that not racist to say now, yet seven years ago when others suggested it, they were smeared and crucified for "racism?" I love how the "media" concluded that states that delivered strong wins for Hillary (Arkansas, West Virginia, Kentucky) only did so out of racism, yet in states where African Americans made up a majority of the Democratic electorate, their votes were honored as "historic."
