LIFE: Disturbing Super Tuesday moment of the day
Setting: #2 train headed downtown. A middle-aged Jewish mother explaining politics to her son and daughter who looked to be about 10 and 5 years-old.
Mom: "Here's the thing, if the race ends up being between Obama and McCain the Republicans will win. There's no way Obama can beat McCain."
Son: "Why?"
Mom: "Because you just have to be honest about the reality that people will never vote for him because he's black. It's the reality, just the same as the reality that I'm never going to be 6' tall."

My co-workers were IMing each other. I glanced over and read, "Obama's vote should be 3/5ths"..
