Not for the primary, but for the General Election. Here it is, courtesy of Anatole Kaletsky at the London Times. Americans, he contends, are simply too racist to elect a Black President.

Worse still, this [Pennsylvania] result underlined the fear that senior Democrats have long been aware of, but have never dared to express in public: America may not yet be ready to elect a black President…
Given that Mrs Clinton’s clear victory over Mr Obama in Pennsylvania followed similar results in other “must-win” states with large working-class constituencies, such as Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and even New York and California, the conclusion would be fairly obvious, were it not for the political correctness that makes it almost impossible for American politicians or commentators to express such a view: Mr Obama may by unable to carry large industrial states with socially conservative white working-class populations simply because of his race…
The latest polls in the two most important swing states show Mr McCain easily beating Mr Obama in both Florida and Ohio, while Mrs Clinton comfortably beats the Republican in Ohio and is neck and neck in Florida.

Lots of amusing counter-factual statements in this piece, by the way, such as:

Mr Obama has, of course, apologised for his condescension towards working-class church-goers and hunters…He has tried even harder to dissociate himself from Rev Wright’s anti-American tirades… The Republican political machine…will have no compunction in exploiting the Wright relationship and portraying Mr Obama as an anti-American in the general election, even if the Clinton campaign…observe a self-denying ordinance on the race and patriotism issues, as they broadly have so far. (Emphasis mine)

Sheesh, has this guy been reading any of the election coverage? By the way, make sure there’s no coffee in your mouth when you read his conclusion — I won’t be held responsible for the destruction of your laptop keyboard:

In this respect this Presidential contest may again manifest the tragedy of left-wing politics through the ages. Parties which care more about fairness than about power, end up achieving neither.

We could well see many pieces like this one in November from hand-wringing liberals. I hope none that are quite this bad. (By the way, I don’t mean to take a cheap shot or anything, but am I correct in understanding that the British Parliament seated its first three Black MPs in 1987?)
