When speaking about the influence of the internet to counter-act what she feels is the free pub the traditional media affords Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Presidential candidate John Edwards, lamented, "We can't make John black, we can't make him a woman."
Well, well, well,...its come to this: a candidate in the Democratic Presidential Primary is hurt because he happens to be a male and he also happens to be a white male..... a fabulously rich, white male. To be fair, as the wife of a candidate who appears to be losing ground to the two front-runners, she could've just been expressing some frustration. However, the logic behind her reasoning remains sound, though, she has no one to blame but herself. To be exact, herself and the power elite that have helped shape the ideaology of the Democratic Party over the last 40-45 years as the party of the Victim and more precisely the party of the Miniority Victim.
Is it any wonder then that the traditional viability of a white male Democratic Presidential candidate is openly questioned when that same party has painted itself into such a corner?
