Barack’s Pyrrhic Victory
By Larry Johnson on January 26, 2008 at 8:01 PM in Current Affairs
I hope the folks at Barack’s party tonight enjoy themselves because the worm has turned and he is painted into a corner of his own making. If Barack, after playing the race card, had garnered more than 50% of the white vote he would have reason to celebrate. Why? Because his victory was not dependent on black voters. But that is not the story line. Barack is the candidate of black voters and that won’t win him much in the rest of the country.
Perhaps it should be phrased this way–Barack, no se puede. Yes boys and girls, the largest and fastest growning ethnic minority in the United States is Latino not African American. And Latinos no son locos por Obama (they are not wild about Obama). That was a reality he bumped up against in Nevada and it is one that will clobber him come Super Tuesday. But for tonight, Oborgs, party hearty.
