[ COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Two key black political leaders in South Carolina who backed John Edwards in 2004 said Tuesday they are supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

State Sens. Robert Ford and Darrell Jackson told The Associated Press they believe Clinton is the only Democrat who can win the presidency. Both said they had been courted by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama; Ford said Obama winning the primary would drag down the rest of the party. ]

WiseOne's Comments -- It is true that John Edwards has no hope against Hillary, but you would think they MIGHT back Obama? I'm not trying to say they should back Obama because he is black, but something fishy is going on here...Just MHO.

I find it interesting that Toni Morrison claimed that bill Clinton was the first black president.
now the first white 'black' president is trying to block the nomination of barak obama who could be the first black black president. bill does owe Hillary a great deal but he better figure out another way to repay her.

Welcome, titivillus2, interesting take on that! I never really quite thought of it like that. That is hardcore ironic there! That is really a provocative statement...Hmmmmm.

Ford and Jackson may be right that Obama being on top of the ticket could cost dearly because of white voter backlash. However, they themselves may pay dearly for abandoning the first legitamate black candidate as well as their favorite son, Poodle Boy Edwards. WiseOne is right, something definately smells fishy here.
