COLUMBIA, S.C. — Three of the Democrats seeking their party's presidential nomination speak today at a Martin Luther King Day rally at the South Carolina statehouse.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards will be speaking, with black voters expected to make up about half of those casting ballots in Saturday's Democratic primary.

The "King Day at the Dome" was created in part to criticize the flying of the Confederate flag over the statehouse.

Yesterday, Obama's wife Michelle and Clinton's daughter Chelsea were tucked among hundreds of congregants on opposite sides of a black church, clapping in unison with the choir during Sunday services.

The sermon was delivered by a state senator who's a paid consultant for the Clinton campaign. A member of the church is Obama's South Carolina political director.

How can Chelsea do anything good for the campaign? Isn't she practically mute? Isn't she the one who refused to take the question from the 9 year old, a week or so ago.

They should mention who Bill was largely responsible for the 7 years of horror by George push by not keeping his dick in his pants with Monica and Gore would not let him campaign with him. And how he (Bill) completely polarized even my democrat friends against him with his outright lying.

And his campaigning for John Kerry in 2004 did not help much, did it?

People have this overblown opinion of Bill that he is the savior who will come in, in god knows what capacity, with Hillary in the White House. I feel sorry for the loser who becomes Secretary of State under her, in the nightmare scenario that she wins.

However that brilliant 1984 video of her was right on the money!

What a world.

Not that I am madly in love with Obama, but at least he can answer a direct question and does not cry when he is asked how he does his hair in the morning.

People don't get it that his muslin ties, or lack there of, will be helpful with the "islamic extremists" who plan on killing us. I get so many ignorant people emailing me that he is a terrorist. The bigotry in this country is overwhelming. Considering that you can not trust a word that comes out of Hillary' mouth.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah the Clinton sent the daughter to a black Church to make them feel good. This is so funny. She probably have maybe one black friend she could name. I have never herd of her doing anything in the black community. I never seen Bill or Hillary in the black community. The only time you see them if the want something. Black people and all people should see them for who they are.

So the blond girl was easy to pick out of the crowd when the obama's were also there? It is a biased photo that shows only her and the black people surrounding her so what is the point of it? The blond girl is easy to pick out while the obama's are not?

Does anyone happen to know what Hillary's ethnic origins are? I mean...

We've got a pretty clear idea of Obama's heritage, why don't we know where Hillary comes from? Why isn't it an issue?

My point is, it seems racist for the media to bring up the question of race by conflating that issue with his ethnic origin, and then completely ignore the ethnicity of the other candidate.

Is she Scottish, Scotch-Irish? W.A.S.P?

Is this disscussion relevant or useful for the voter? Or is just useful for the media who need to create a narrative to make people willing to endure hours of boring commercials in order to get their daily news?

I mean... are we actually talking about politics, or are we really talking about "restless leg syndrom" and "erectile dysfunction'?

Hmmmmm. Hillary couldn't make it 'cause her flight was delayed? Hmmmmmm.

Sounds like she's afraid to go into enemy territory without her escort, Bill. Tooooo bad!

The Clintons shit in their messkits on the race card thing!!!

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH we keep losing because, last weeks story because the Clinton are Racist, this week story because Bill Clinton is a meanie give me a break I have had it with this whining slanderous crowd.


What the problem is is that Senator Obama seems to believe he is losing because of others, because they are racist or because they are the old guard, or because they are cranky boomers, or they are being mean to him and that is not he himself we are not enamored with him¦..that is misguided¦¦.boo hoo

What unhinged horrible spectacle is Bill going to put on today at the memorial? Is he going to start some sick rumor that Obama just tans too much, not really black enough?

One Black Man-[Mother is white] and two southern born white people who can't see that obama is as white as there are.
