Are the Dem's pandering to the blacks???

Look, EVERY election, national or local is ALWAYS about doing everything you can to get all the votes you can. To kid yourself about any one doing anything for anyother reason means you REALLY don't understand politicians at all. It is ALL ABOUT GETTING ELECTED.

Obama didn't pander to Clinton's voters. Obama didn't pander to cut gas tax. So no, not all politicians pander.

How would Obama pander to blacks he didnt pick himself he was voted in.

Why else would McCain pick a women other than to try get upset Clinton women voters to vote for him.

I see, McCain selects a woman as his running mate and the liberals consider that 'pandering'. I would think many women would look at it as 'representation'. Considering the only reason the empty suit is at the top of the Democrat ticket is the fact that he is half black I find these type of queries out there on the 'net rather odd. At least Palin has a cabinet full of accomplishments unlike Obama who couldn't fill the back of a business card with anything he has done. This woman even shows what a class act she is by giving props to Geraldine Ferraro and Bill's wife during her little speech. Yep another highly intelligent, accomplished, classy and beautiful conservative woman.

“I have a lifetime of experience I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he made in 2002.”-Hillary Clinton

Pandering to women? That should be obvious to anyone with a functioning cerebrum. But hey it's what politicians do, we'll see if this huge gamble pays off for him.
