Being an unfortunate reality, the race issue grows steadily larger in the Democratic primaries. Instapundit pointed out a column in the Boston Herald that explains Obama will lose by winning in South Carolina.

As Morris puts it:

“If Hillary loses South Carolina and the defeat serves to demonstrate Obama’s ability to attract a block vote among black Democrats, the message will go out loud and clear to white voters that this is a racial fight. That will trigger a massive white backlash against Obama and will drive white voters to Hillary Clinton.”

No matter what happens in South Carolina today - even if Obama wins a plurality among white voters - the Clintons and their media stooges have turned South Carolina into “the black primary.”

In fact, the bigger his win, the more it reinforces the campaign-killing message that Barack Obama is “their” candidate.

In other words, the Clinton, who claim to be champions of civil rights and racial equality, have no qualms of using race to stop a black man on his quest to further his position in society. More:

It’s cynicism at its lowest. It is utterly shameful. And yet every “Bush is Hitler!” liberal in America will quietly go along.

Bill and Hillary will pay no political price among liberal voters, or even among black voters, for what they have done. She will still get 90 percent of the black vote in November, and Bill will be greeted like a rock star in Harlem.

Obama, unwisely, plays right into the Clintons hands. At the historically black South Carolina State University, Obama said:

"I don't want Scooter Libby justice for some and Jena justice for other folks," he said, contrasting the white Republican ex-lobbyist with the black youths in Louisiana.

Initially this got a rise out of this old white boy. I could care less about Scooter Libby but "Jena justice," what is that? Is that justice where several black guys beat the crap out of a white guy and then walk because someone else hung a noose from a tree weeks before? Obama won't win any votes like. Of course, the media and the Clintons will make sure every honky around will hear Obama's statement.

I like Obama's message of working "with Americans across the political spectrum." We've had enough of the divisiveness that the Clintons thrive upon. We no longer need a house divided. While I won't vote for any Democrat at this point, I hope the Clintons' strategy fails and we can look forward to a more unified nation no matter who wins.

Oh, while writing this post, I learned the Obama has won South Carolina "routing" Hillary. It'll be interesting to see what develops from here and the tactics the Clintons take. Of course, the article linked makes sure to promote race as an issue.

UPDATE: As has been predicted and now widely reported, Bill Clinton continues to appeal to racist tendencies in the South. Listen to the question, it makes no reference to race, "What does it say about Barack Obama that it takes two of you to beat him?"

Bill thinks he is a master of subtlety. Remember him explaining the meaning of the word "is?" Clinton politics have always resembled a borderline personality disorder attempting to pit one group against another, i.e. "splitting." More and more their true colors are showing through. Even liberals seem to be getting it: More important than battling racism, more important than nearly anything, is their being in power. If that means encouraging significant portions of the population to hate each other, so be it.
