Is This What the HRC Campaign Stands For?

Given recent comments here and a general sense based on reactions to the Democratic National Committee decision regarding Michigan and Florida delegates, this woman may very well be what Hillary Clinton supporters are about.

Now, VivirLatino hasn't endorsed Obama. We've been resisting the fervor and attraction and are concerned especially about Latin American foreign policy, Obama's pro-border wall vote, and other issues. And to be honest, even as the delegate go more and more towards Obama, Hillary can stay in as long as she wants, but not by pulling this kind of shit and not taking any responsibility. And I'm not a party politics kind of gal. I'm not wed to the Democratic party, but for people to say that they will give their vote to McCain if Hillary isn't the nominee, well that's just counter-productive and looks like nothing more than pouty temper-tantruming at best, blatant racism at worse.

Now, the rules regarding Michigan and Florida were clear when the primaries went down and Hillary Clinton and her people wanted to change the rules when it became clear that she didn't have the votes, the numbers, the same amount of people. Plain and simple. And when you have bloggers and pundits playing the "poor white women" game, it does a disservice to women of color who support either candidate, making it a battle between the vagina and brown skin, which well has a long history.
