He would have won the general election in 2008 no matter what. Republicans had no chance in that election.

Now would he have won the Democratic nomination without smearing Hillary? Maybe not.

And by that statement, you mean the GOP is responding to the "race baiting and fear mongering" by 0bama, Biden, 0bama's administration, his campaign staff, his PACs and his supporters?

He was never a squeaky clean candidate, he just had a lot of people fooled. Not anymore, people have had a chance to see how incompetent and dirty he is. He is finished..

Do you have an example of this "race baiting?"

I don't understand why the GOP always rips on "Chicago style politics" either because last time I checked, Chicago was a world class, Alpha city.

Didn't Biden just say that the GOP was going to put blacks back in chains?
