Darlington 1
(For the NASCAR challenged, Darlington is a race track.)
I was listening to yesterday’s Talk of the Nation, which had its regular Wednesday “Political Junkie” feature.
One of the callers asked an interesting question.
She pointed out that, in the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, supporters of the Clinton campaign have brought up race three times.
Supporters of the Obama campaign have not brought it up (except in response to comments from the other side).
Her question was (paraphrased, because I’m not going to listen to the entire podcast over again once more redundantly just to get an exact quote), “What does that tell you?”
Well, indeed, what does that tell you?

One of the secrets to Obama’s success is exactly that he has not shown any inclination to assume that anyone’s a racist before he knows them, nor to slap people around for injustices that occurred before they were born.
