I know she leans to the right, but I like Cambell Brown. I would much rather see Soledad O'Brien onthe morning telecast Kiran Chetchney (sp?) and Dan Roberts. The partisan panels get on my nerves. If I wanted to hear spin, I'd turn the channel and watch Pat Robertson or Anne Coulter. Lately, I've been watching Keith Olbermann and on the weekends I watch Meet The Press and Late Edition. When the general election is over Cambell Brown, Wolf Blitzer, and Larry King are the only regulars (unless Soledad gets her own show) that would draw me to CNN. posted 04/01/2008 at 11:44:26

It was a bald face lie that gained traction in the blogosphere for 2 weeks before anyone bothered to run the story. Thank God for TIVO. CBS had the tape, but refused to show it until someone produced a copy. Clinton and her supporters need to quit looking at polls. Thats the problem with her campaign and with her messages. They're based on polling data and very contrived. Hilary should have known that Rev. Wright is not a reason for voters to vote for her just as Bosnia is not a reason for Obamas supporters to vote for him. You still have to connect with voters with a message and a plan. What has been Hilary's plan since Ohio and Texas? posted 03/28/2008 at 20:37:34

Forget the polls. We all know McCain can't win. He was beaten by George Bush. He's running on George Bush's platform. The war is still raging and the economy is tanking.

McCain has about as much of a chance of winning as Newt Gingrich or Ralph Nader. he'll come away with 42% of the popular vote regardless of who is the Democratic nominee.

Did I also mention that he is 100 years old? Age trumps both gender and race. posted 03/27/2008 at 20:52:53

I too hold Al Gore in high regards; but, with only 2 months to campaign, it would be impossible for him to talk substantively about anything other than global warming.

We've already had one President throw his legacy down the drain. Let's not encourage Al Gore to do the same.

They voted for Obama even though their parties nomination was still undecided. Those voters actually plan to vote for Obama in November. The 86,000 that switched parties to vote for Hilary, plan to vote for McCain in November. Since the Republican race is decided there is no penalty for them to cast a ballot in the Democratic primary. posted 03/26/2008 at 10:53:18

In Pennsylvania, 130,000+ new voters registered as Democrats. Not surprisingly, 86,000+ Republicans switched the party affiliation to the Democratic party in order to vote in the PA primary. The Republicans want the Democratic party to fracture. After watch FOX News bash Barack Obama for 8 hours per day over the Wright story, as Rush Limbaugh suggested, they're going to come out in force to make the impression that Barack Obama is losing ground with white voters. These very same voters have no plans of voting for a Democrat in the general election. Ed Rendell set the tone when he said that a black man could not win in PA. It was such a patently false statement; however, that put race baiting in play before the PA by political strategists. PA is awash. It's been spun. The results won't mean much because these voters are not voting based on the issues. We'll have to wait until NC to see if Obama can put this thing away. posted 03/26/2008 at 10:32:41

I pray its not deep seeded resentment and prejudice in our society. I have to say that I do fear that it is a viral element in our society. Why is Barry Bonds a bigger story than Roger Clemens?

Most blacks that I know feel that th laws on the books are serving the black community. At the local level, we continue to fight for a fairer justice system, but that has little to do with national politics at the moment. Most of the cases coming before the Supreme Court these days have to do with affirmative action, and not cases were blacks are requesting changes to laws that we find unconstitutional. posted 03/24/2008 at 15:11:12

First, let me say that his speech was historic in regards to race relations in the United States. His candidacy is by no means based on race. His candidacy is based in the belief that the American people desire change and that their goodness makes it possible.

Every historic speech made in America has laid the groundwork for a better country. The provide a vision that inspires to American people to live up to an ideal form of citizenship that is best described in our constitution.

Without a doubt, the single most important speech on race to date in the country is Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream".

In "I Have A Dream", King writes "So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." He's talking about segregation and the disenfranchisement of the black voter. It's an ugly picture, that shows our government failing to live up to the standards that should have been apart of our shared American values system. He writes:

"It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. "

"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy."

"Those who hope that the N* gro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the N* gro is granted his citizenship rights."

We all know where his speech goes from here:

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope."

Now, nearly 45 years later, Barack Obama stands on stage and says:

"I chose to run for the presidency at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together - unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction - towards a better future for of children and our grandchildren."

It has almost never been said in the black community that we have realized Dr. King's dream, but we have. Segregation has ended. All men are equal under the law and have the right to not only vote but to govern. Those were important achievements that should not be overlooked.

We as blacks have been wandering in a wilderness for 45 years awaiting a leader that could take us into the promised land. The land spoken of by Dr. King. The promised land isn't just for blacks but for all Americans. The promised land that King wrote of is a better American. It is an America in which every citizen is given the opportunity to succeed. King wrote:

"We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land."

As I said, it's been 45 years that we've been wandering in the wilderness in search of the promised land without a leader. In steps Barack Obama who says "I know the way to a more perfect union". He says that everything about who he is as a bi-racial American has taught him the way to a better union. It requires a certain understanding of the differences between all of our discourses so that we can communicate and travel together to that place that we all want to get to, a place where our children have good schools to go to, a place were we have adequate health care, a place free of religious strife and the threat of war. He notes that there are going to be difficult dialogues that have to take place like welfare and affirmative action. But, if we undertake the task at hand, together, our union will grow stronger.

I rushed Lizzie . . . but this is the context that I heard Barack's speech. To me, it was a call to once again take up the cause of a better country and to continue going where other patriots have sought to go. posted 03/23/2008 at 16:44:07

But, the Clinton's have got to know that there is a political consequence to sucking the enemy's weewee. They lost the right to say anything positive about John McCain when they said that he had passed the Commander and Chief threshold. John McCain failed the Commander and Chief test.

If the Clinton's continue to press arguments that have failed with Democratic voters, i.e. experience and patriotism which are right out of the Republican playbook, they must know that they will not only lose the support of a MAJORITY of Democrats (e.g. those that think John McCain is not fit to be Commander and Chief) but they will ultimately lose the support of a majority of Independents and Republicans that think John McCain trumps her in experience (she was only a ceremonial figure) and in patriotism (he's a former POW).

Stupidity should have political consequence. After you finish sucking the weewee, it's time to own up to the fact that you stained a blue dress. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:54:13

The Slick Willie reference inplies he's a liar. I just wanted to clarify that if you were confused. I'm calling him a politically motivated liar. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:32:56

John McCain has passed the threshold to be Commander and Chief.

Two people who love this country.

Those statements don't confuse me. They tell me that the persons who said them are confused.

You can't say that John McCain failed at the war and yet he's qualified to be Commander and Chief.

It's pretty clear what the Clinton's are doing. That's what we're talking about here. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:31:19

We've known for some time that this race is about the delegate count. It's not about the popular vote, even though Barack leads there including FL (he wasn't on the ballot in MI and we all know he'd get more than 0 votes). We're all waiting for Dean, Pelosi, and the rest of the delegates to weigh-in. It's over soon, way before June. Probably, right after NC. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:23:00

And, we care about this as it relates to Slick Willie's comments? How? posted 03/23/2008 at 07:16:57

" I don't think what Bill said was far off the mark. We do have good candidates"

If John McCain seems like a good candidate, you're reading the wrong blog. Go to Rush Limbaugh's blog. They quassi like McCain there.

For the record, McCain is God aweful. He is for another 4 years of war. There's nothing good about that. He's for continuing the Bush economic plan of wealth redistribution. He's giving the money to the wealthy and sending it overseas. Ask the good people over at Boeing if McCain is any good. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:12:16

We've all said that the videos were taken out of context.

When taken out of context, Wright's comments seem deplorable. However, that's not the full story.

Here is the full context of what Wright was saying:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMbeVQj6Lw

In it he says that the American government does both good and bad. He in no way cursed the American people or the country. He also called 9/11 an unthinkable act. His sermon was dedicated to how we should have responded. He was not advocating voilence against America. He was calling on Americans to reflect on their relationship to God. Wright probably could have selected a better way of saying what he was trying to say.

Anyway, what we see on TV these days is never the full story.

McCain will die of natural causes before the election. There's nothing to worry about. That geezer couldn't win if he was running against "Uncommitted" on the ballot. There are only so many states named Mississippi that he can carry. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:03:00

McCain's said his fate is tied to the fate of the war.

What a strategy. Everyone wants the war to be over. Good luck pushing that campaign after 5 years. posted 03/23/2008 at 07:00:02

"U N D E R S T A ND ????? "


No, I don't. No one is knocking those two. But for you to cherry pick their endorsements as being significant and saying that the others were political favors is as bad as Carville and Wolfson.

Funny, the Clinton campaign has been calling out to all these guys as if they're owed something.

Sounds like they're trying to call in all their political favors. posted 03/23/2008 at 06:55:24

Sorry, my friend, but when you have the most numbers . . . you're the standard. It's the marginal people that belong to a cult.

Get a grip. She lost. Her message was experience. People didn't buy it. And, she lost.
