Everyone errs when they say Barack has to get BEYOND the race issue. What he needs to do is keep including it by spelling out the political advantages to ALL of UNITY. Unity means that the low income person or family of any race, color, gender, persuasion needs to be united with his or her opposites, his or her scapegoats, his or her enemies, in order to test the waters against the real problem. The folk who are making money hand over fist do not want this unity. They will contribute millions of dollars to see that this unity does not take place. This is the bull that Barack took by the horns yesterday and to frame the story in terms of getting BY the race issue is is simply a pipe dream.Give this a month folks. Let Barack get out there and reiterate as he is always able to do. Let him unify his own speaking to include the 65 percent presidency that David Wilhelm spoke about when he came aboard.The race is OURS to win. Therefore it is ours to lose. We are not going to do that. Hillary is looking tired, but I am not deceived. She rebounds. Where are we now. We are poised to TIE the number of superdelegates Hillary has. A tipping point.We are poised to make some serious decisions about how important Pennsylvania is. The only decision can be that it is is desperately important. If we lose we cannot have a rout. If we can win we need to win because that would end it.So:Barack will have made three speeches by the end of the day tomorrow. Race, Iraq and the Economy. These will become the fodder for a renewed stump speech that is going to move the campaign into the realm of common interests, common rewards, common victory.If he can do that then where we are is where we have been for several months -- on the verge of victory, but not there yet.Send a Personal Email to Stephen C.
