There's a new group in the coalition of groups that comprise the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party has always been a coalition of various self-interested groups and lobbies:
The union group
The feminist group
The black group
The hispanic group
The gay group
The environmental group
The animal rights group
The anti-war group, etc., etc., etc.
Each of these groups demanded a seat at the Party table and the Democrats obliged. They not only gave lip service to each group's cause - they even embraced and applauded each group's cause.
The Hillary/Obama debacle has introduced another group. This group has never been embraced or applauded. In fact, this group has never even been acknowledged until this primary. This group?
The racist group.
There are many Democrats who refuse to vote for a black candidate. They are withholding Obama's nomination from him because he is black. If Hillary wins the nomination, the racist group will quietly show the black group to the back door of the modern, racist, Democratic Party.
