[...] Update (AP): I wonder if this news or the recent nutroots uproar over his Iraq funding comments explains why Barry O is now sudenly backing out of the Fox News Democratic primary debate in Detroit. This should be checkmate in the long chess game of racial politics that’s been played since the Dems abandoned the Nevada primary debate that Fox was supposed to host: first Fox approached the Congressional Black Caucus to co-sponsor a new debate, believing that the Dems wouldn’t have the stones to bail on the CBC; then grassroots black progressive groups attacked the CBC for working with Fox, which granted Edwards the racial cover he needed to cancel; and now, just 10 days after the CBC formally struck a deal with Fox, the Messiah himself has bestowed the imprimatur of racial authority on cancellation, thereby neutralizing the CBC and greenlighting the rest of the Democratic field to withdraw. Edwards’s surprisingly strong showing in the latest polls, doubtless spiked by sympathy for him and his wife, may also have Obama feeling nervous and more inclined to appease the nutroots. [...]

Maybe the next Democratic debate will be sponsored by FNC and AIPAC. That should send the netroots into full Super Duper Action Alert territory.

Love the opinion poll! Very telling. Could this be what has the nutroots so up in arms over Fox hosting the debate? Could it? Grab the popcorn kids. THIS is must see TV.

Maybe the CBC feels somewhat marginalized by the MoveOn KosKids crowd, and this is their small way of trying to get some turf back.

Let’s see the nutroots take on the CBC. The CBC is not the wimpy liberal Dems., a couple of “you are a racist” comments and the nutroots will become…very very quiet.
Nothing like pulling out the “race card”, that stops a debate.
