Former Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder, a Democrat who supported Barack Obama in 2008, has essentially abandoned him in 2012 by failing to endorse him this time around.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Obama will be fine, because the mighty Ignatieff has come out today and endorsed him. To quote one line (any more would make you feel sick):
"It will be close because there are divisions of race and class that not even his rhetoric can lift his fellow citizens above."
The sheer stupidity and single-mindedness of academics today is *staggering*. All universities in North America should be closed and re-started from the ground up.
Igatieff would support Obama, he's a fellow from the hallowed halls of Harvard,mutual admiration society. Remember when Iggy went to New York for some publicity stunt and Obama said he read all Iggy's books?
Iggy and O, two unwanted transplants to America.
"there are divisions of race and class that not even his rhetoric can lift his fellow citizens above."
Here we go again with the left-wing obsession with race and class warfare. I think that Mr. Ignatieff was politely trying to say that there are many Americans who are such ignorant, racist neanderthals that they are unable to understand Obama's healing words.
Mr. Ignatieff gives the impression of being a disconnected, elitist moron .... much like he was when leading the Liberals.
Mikey Iguana manages to get toothpaste all over the bathroom mirror again by spouting off while brushing his teeth.
Micheal...knowbody up here cares what you really think.
Just go home!
You know how all those polls have varying degree of D+ oversamples, trying to guess what the electorate is?
Well guess what. Rasmussen has been polling what the electorate is.
It ain't D+6.
It's R+6.
If Rasmussen is right, and fraud can be contained, this is 1980.
Wilder endorsing Obama tells you which way Virginia headed.
This is worth a quick read...

The first elected Black Governor is not endorsing Obama?
3,2,1 till we hear "off the reservation" or "Uncle Tom".
How long till we hear his 'endorsement' was taken out of context?
Perhaps the first bit explains the last [wiki] --
// Douglas Wilder is the founder of the United States National Slavery Museum, a non-profit organization based in Fredericksburg, Virginia. [...]In June 2008 ,Wilder requested that the museum be granted tax exempt status, which was denied.[7] From that time, taxes on the land had not been paid and the property was at risk of being sold at auction by the city of Fredericksburg.[8]
Beset by financial problems the museum has been assesed delinquent property taxes for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011 amounting to just over $215,000.[9] The organization filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection on September 22, 2011. Early in 2011 Douglas Wilder was refusing to respond to or answer any questions from either news reporters or patrons who had donated artifacts.[10]
In November 2012, Conservatives claim Wilder withdrew his 2008 endorsement of Barack Obama by his failure to endorse him in 2012. //
"The Republicans endured a bad nominating process. Yet in the end, they seem to have chosen a credible candidate that many Virginians tell me they would feel fairly comfortable with in the Oval Office."
That may not be a direct endorsement of Romney, but it's good enough for a lot of indpendents.
Peggy Hears a Who..?

Rats and ships about to sink.
It's no surprise given that many Democrats are disillusioned and have said so before.
