Have I said too much? Am I too plain, putting out what I have to say as it comes to me, not shading sex with fruit or hiding pain with flowers. Do I have too few sunrises, insufficient levels of illusion, or is it too obvious that I have a point of view which is unexpected? Should I not talk about racism because it is old hat, poverty because it is pass6? Should I go back to my European roots that were planted in my educational garden, and pull out sonnets and other controlled modes of expression? Am I too wild, unstructured nonlinear mosaic indefinable to be read by your erudite constituency? Am I too Black?

The other critical element in Senator Clinton's election calculation is the women voters, who comprise fifty-two percent of the electorate; surely they would welcome the opportunity to help her make history. These two constituencies, women and the black community's vote, would provide a solid footing to get Hillary Clinton into the White House. However, the emergence and political ascendancy of Barack Obama as a serious contender has challenged conventional political wisdom. The impact of his candidacy is sending once skeptical blacks, including black women, in record numbers to vote in primary after primary for this historic first. On the other hand, one wonders how the Clinton political machine miscalculated the electorate's willingness to accept an untested, non-vetted newcomer? Would women make a decisive difference in this race based solely on "x" chromosome commonality? In the New Hampshire primary, women overwhelmingly voted for Senator Clinton; however, such support in subsequent primaries did not help maintain her shrinking lead. 3 In fact, white woman over fifty remain her strongest supporters through the presidential primary season. 4 During the same period, Obama's momentum was fueled by his ability to cut into Clinton's base by crossing demographic lines of race, gender, religion and party affiliation. This has proved pivotal in his quest for the White House. The presumption of blacks' allegiance to Hillary Clinton, who once stated that she had not "considered the possibility that she would not be the nominee," seemed hollow as her campaign plunged into disarray with numerous straight primary losses. 5 During the same period, Former President Clinton's attacks on Obama's inexperience and "electability" lacked resonance as Obama's momentum continued to accelerate. Some ardent Clinton supporters such as Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) were forced to jump the Clinton ship and support the young black contender.

Newly elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide was a shining specter of hope for the Haitian people. His task to lead Haiti to some kind of orderly democracy was onerous. While the new constitution had provided for decentralized government, the enthusiastic vote for Aristide contrasted sharply with the parliamentary races. On September 30, 1991, a military coup ousted Aristide. Since then, the 6,000man Haitian army and police have carried out a campaign of terror and intimidation against supporters of Aristide, who was popular with Haiti's poor people. 1 In addition, since then, more than 16,000 refugees have fled the island, mostly in response to the political chaos and economic turmoil. 2 Those who escaped by sea, however, were intercepted by the United States Coast Guard and held at Guantanamo Naval Station. On January 31, 1992, the United States Supreme Court cleared the way for the Coast Guard to forcibly return about 10,000 Haitian boat people to their strife-torn island nation. 3 On February 4, 1992, cutters returned the first 381 Haitians. 4 *Associate Professor of Law, District of Columbia School of Law. The author is grateful for the editorial and research assistance provided by Ms. Cecilia Perry and manuscript preparation by Ms. Janice Hutton. This article is dedicated to the spirit of the Haitian people in their continuous quest for democracy.
