Egalitarianism is simply absurd

I keep hearing that Blacks may desert the Democratic Party if Obama doesn't get the nomination. Where will they go? Wouldn't that be to cut off your nose to spite your face?

I hadn't heard that, but they'd probably just stay home. The masses of young people inspired by Obama will probably lose interest. Older voters may have gotten over it enough by November to hold their nose and vote for Clinton.

This is the same argument that Pittypat makes about Clinton supporters. This campaign has been brutal but I don't anticipate regular voters abandoning their party. I mean, if they voted for Kerry, voting for either Obama or Clinton should be no problem.
