Yes, its set in the first sentence.

Is there a point to harping about yours and other unfounded disposition to scream racism over anything even something as benign as this?

I think there is.......
I think its to avoid the point to begin with.

I like Marvin Gaye.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
Lets Get It On

Marvin Gaye had some great songs.

"Got To Give It Up" was Marvin's best jam.

Of course there's the vice presidency, although I'm not sure Obama really fits with Hillary, after all she's not exactly someone you can listen to Marvin Gaye with, share Ripple or a Scotch and Drambuie or a blackberry brandy with.

So, his best bet is to really stick it out, try to win. It's what you do when your white classmates constantly chide you for being black — the beast of rage against The Man gnaws at your soul.

I'm expecting the Obama campaign to turn a little dirty. Start taking swipes at Hillary's character. With a bit of a low-tech lynching, he may just yet pull this out. You just know that the thought of carjacking the presidency and controlling the fate of the country must give Obama that old "X-rated tingle."

I can see him now on that podium, "We don’t push for the truth. We push to win, praise the Lord!"

I'm fairly certain the only thing in this entire world that can be carjacked is a car. Hence the name.

The OP is also mistaken about the lead that Hillary enjoys. She has the lead in NATIONAL POLLS, just as Giuliani has on the Republican side.

If we had National elections for the primaries, then perhaps Hillary would be a shoe in. We do not, however have national prmaries, so it comes down to Iowa and New Hampshire, and South Carolina, and other early states that can make or break a candidacy.

Last I looked, Hillary wasn't leading all that much in those early states. If Edwards or Obama can take a couple of those early primaries, then the field is wide open.

Of course there's still speculation that Gore may enter the race, and turn all of the polling data on it's head.

So there is no real need for Obama to "carjack" the nomination.

Latest Iowa Poll:
Clinton 29%
Edwards 23%
Obama 22%

MOE I believe was +-3%
Looks like a dead heat to me

You might want to check out a couple of those other states.

...you ain't seen nothing yet. Don't let the race get tight were you might have a chance to win this thread will look like childs play compared to when they really start hitting you with the racist stuff. Just ask former Rep. Harold Ford from Tennessee how nasty it gets. Next they will put the black man's kryptonite on you.

Peace.
