At a news conference now under way in Chicago, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was just asked about independent contender Ralph Nader's charge that he is trying to "talk white" to appeal to voters.
Nader is a fool for saying this. Not only is it one of the most racist things to be said in the campaign so far, it is a clear attempt to get attention. It makes me think that his whole run is about attention at any costs. If Nader had thought about this for a moment, he would have understood how bad this would make him look. He would also have seen how easy it will be for people on the right, who are deeply racist but know better than saying anything, to use Naders words against Obama. Who is Nader working for?
