If Obama doesn't win, that outcome will become all but assured. Can you imagine the look of shock on their faces as they are figuratively escourted out of the Dem party? Looking at this from the Dem party boss POV, Blacks have gotten everything they could get from the Dem party, they don't have anything left to offer but more of the same empathetic whining over their past victimization. The poverty programs are getting too expensive to justify continual victimhood. The hispanics on the other hand are a new and larger minority block vote that could be pandered to in new and less expensive ways. IMO, since Obama dared to challenge the established pecking order of victim groups within the Dem party, his challenging the order by not having Hillary, a woman, win the nomination means they have become too high maintenance to pander to anymore. Remember that at the beginning of 2007 Hillary had all but sown up the Dem nomination and the primaries were merely a formality for her coronation. Obama spoiled the whole plan by not waiting his turn, and there must be consequences for that. Here's to hoping it will play out that way in November 2008. re: update 2, I have said in the past before the 2006 elections that the Dem Party was going to dump the black vote for the hispanic vote using illegals.
