This is the equivalent of a slave revolt. And I, for one, think that we will get at least 40% of the black electorate to vote against Ms. Clinton. That will sink her campaign.

The supers are choosing Obama and behind the scenes everybody knows this. The charade that is being played out by the Clintons and the MSM is merely psycho drama in an effort to convince the supers to change their minds.
What fools and yes we must push him over the top soon.
We will stand in solidarity with all Obama supporters to deny the craven self interest of the media and the Clintons.

Ok, I have a SERIOUS problem with this.

Doesn’t this strike anyone else as being kind of odd?

My point is this:

Besides the obvious conflict of interest posed by a former Clinton staffer hosting a Clinton town hall event . . .

Aren’t there any “EQUAL TIME” legal issues with this town hall event?

Seriously.

I mean, we’re basically talking about a 1 hour pro-Hillary event on national broadcast television.

It’s not like this is an interview. It’s a town hall meeting where she’ll likely get to control the direction of the conversation and, quite possibly, the questions themselves.

Why is ABC giving her a 1 hour block of free air time?

Maybe I’m mistaken, but this raises some serious concerns for me.

They’d have to do the same for Obama and McCain.
