Of course, I don't support any presidential candidates, but I am finding the representation of the Democratic nomination process interesting because the US media especially doesn't know whether they should be calling Obama a looter or Hillary a bitch. Thus, they oscillate between the two. The recent 'news' from CNN - which is bound to circulate to the other news networks, lest any of them actually think for themselves - are some obfuscating figures about 'black and white voters.' The line is something like, in Ohio 1 in 5 voters said that 'race matters' (whatever that means) and that of those, 60% voted for Hillary... A bit of number crunching brings me to the staggering number of 12% of voters. So 12% of voters hold the opinion that 'race matters.' I feel better informed already...
