For those keeping count we have now seen crying, racebaiting and now what looks like the beginning of a smear campaign along the lines of anti-Islamic sentiment from She-Clinton. To put it short; I love it! For all the years that I had to hear the first "Black President" nonsense, to watching Hillary prop herself up here in NYC as an audition for the Presidency; the whole truth is being revealed.

For a moment I thought that the debacle that was the South Carolina campaign would be all that I would get in terms of a bloodfeud; but with Clinton taking Texas the crimson should flow very freely now. If it goes according to plan and it will, Clinton will lead this fight not only to Colorado but also to court and will ultimately make her and Bill pariahs among Democrats. This will be enough to actually break the almost slavish devotion Blacks have to the Democratic party and she will effectively do what had seemed impossible, she will give McCain the means to take the White House.

Now the prior statement may seem like hyperbole but there are enough elements out there to make it a reality. The first element comes in the form of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. For the vast majority of the campaign both Jackson and Sharpton have been marginalized in a manner that hasn't been seen in nearly 2 decades. The mere appearance of Clinton attempting to "steal" the Democratic nomination through litigation and smear campaigns would be the perfect opportunity for both Civil rights leaders to insert themselves back into the national spotlight. Just picture Al and Jesse leading protesters to Colorado to demonstrate against the will of the people being subverted and robbing Obama of his rightful nomination. Second, we have the aspect of race that has been simmering under the surface since South Carolina. As mentioned, the appearance of the first viable Black candidate for President being robbed of his opportunity with the blessing of the Democratic establishment may be enough for millions of Black democratic supporters to stay home in November. Lastly, there is the influx of new young voters. This is the area that may actually be the most volatile. The diminishment in cynicism that has come as a result of the way Obama has campaigned could easily re-emerge as pragmatism may dictate that he go after Clinton in the area of WhiteWater and Bill Clinton's income among other scandals.

The weeks leading to the Democratic convention should be very interesting to say the least.

P.S. As a reminder for those that don't think this doomsday scenario can take place just look at the NYC mayoral campaign involving Mike Bloomberg and Mark Green.
