Democrats Get Racial With Each Other

The Boston Globe reports:

Kerry has recently said that New Hampshire should stay first. He was challenged on this by ABC-TV's George Stephanopoulos, who told him, ''I was talking to one senior Democratic strategist yesterday who said that you're basically saying only white people's votes count in those early states."

Kerry responded, ''That's so much bunk. I don't know how else to describe that comment, in any other way than to say that that's absolutely ridiculous. The converse of that is to suggest that the people in New Hampshire and Iowa are insensitive to those issues and don't care."

Stephanopoulos reminded Kerry how white New Hampshire is. Kerry said, ''It doesn't mean they're insensitive to or don't think about those issues . . . Look, somebody has to be first."

We will admit that New Hampshire doesn't look like the Democratic party plus when you factor in no sales tax or income tax.Those who say the Democrats should run on the "common good" this election have their work cut out for them.
