Liberals feel entitled to accuse Hillary of playing the "race card" for drawing attention to the voting preferences of whites. Meanwhile, the voting preferences of blacks is touted as one of Obama's great strengths.

My guess is that when the mainstream media say it is time for a discussion about race, what some of them really want is to start leveling accusations of racism.

Do we really want to go down that road? Based simply on voting preferences? I would advise against it. There's a saying: "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."
