(appeal to minorities and women) per the Obama campaign, I think she's trying to attack other candidates in that way so that they will play by her rules.

Fundamental question here: Who is Victor that this story came from.....How can they say that Sanders isn't doing too well with non-whites when the campaign has had overwhelming turn-out in its first three weeks but just hasn't happened to go to states with large populations of people of color?



Bernie's campaign has been active for all of three weeks whereas Hillary's campaign has been active for 240 months! No comparison...Furthermore, the issue seemingly brought up is that Bernie suggested that Obama should be primaried in 2012.............I would ordinarily dismiss both of these for the rubbish that they are but you know the old saying ...................if you repeat a lie often enough...........

As I'll mention here - Bernie has yet to appeal to minority voters - his campaign/momentum is just building.

Furthermore, I suggest that his emphasis will be on class rather than race....Racial divisions are artificial creations of ruling elites - to prevent the people (the majority) from organizing for their civil liberties and social justice. If everyone has a job and is well paid, they don't care if their neighbor is black, brown or purple.
