In my (albeit, limited) experience with calling Massachusetts and Rhode Island, I did find a lot of people who said that they were happy with either candidate (Clinton or Obama) and would happily vote for whichever of them got the nomination.

So, I agree that if they were really upset about Kerry and Kennedy supporting Obama, you best believe that they'd be raising hell about it by now...

All I know is...if Obama had lost 11 races in a row, folks would be blowin' taps, right about now...

TO my way of thinking, the only way to squash Ms. Ann is to win and win big. Yes, Obama has the most delegates. Yes, he's won the most states. Yes, he's won the popular vote.

Oh yeah, and YES, HE WON TEXAS!

Up next? Wyoming and Mi-ss-i-ss-i-pp-i

(Ya'll know ya'll say it like that to spell it right...)

which he can definitely win.

Then, on April 22, the Keystone state of Pennsylvania.

Now, why in the world the MSM is calling PA the new Iowa, I will NEVER know...

I don't know about the rest of PA, but politics in Philadelphia is a rough and tumble business.

And black folks, white folks, all kinds of folks are ready to roll for Obama!

Yes, there will be trickery, starting with Ms. Ann's Phila campaign HQ in the same bldg as voter registration.

Last month, Gov. "Fast Eddie" Rendell extended the deadline for Clinton's delegate slate to be filed, citing emergency weather conditions. It was raining.

Changed the school district calendar for no school on April 22. Professional development day (on a Tuesday, yeah right...)

Come on over to PA. Call, Donate, or otherwise cheerlead.

Oh, but this campaign is far different from Kerry or Gore's campaign. Three big differences, MONEY, interest from folks who normally don't give a damn and the little box you are looking into while you read this.

No way in hell, even 4 years ago, anyone could have run a campaign like this.

in a 48 hr timespan, I have organized with Obama supporters to do a Voter Registration event.

He MUST stay positive. We must stay focused. The ishnit will hit the fan soon enough. And Barack Obama will be above it all...

Peace,

I'm an OBAMA mama!!

Actually, I'm thinking it's quite the opposite. I think it is VERY fortunate that Clinton and Obama are running at this moment, at this time.

I have been too, too tired of racist Democrats acting as if black folk ought to vote for them just because they are democrats.

By the way, I am damn sure not voting for Barack just because he's black. Hell, Alan Keyes is in the race, I wouldn't insult dogs by voting him in as dog catcher. If Republicans hadn't been such assholes over the last, oh, lemme see, 150 years and beyond, they could have gotten more black folk to join the party.

If this destroys the Democratic Party, it NEEDED to be destroyed.

It's like a boil that needed to burst.

Go back and really listen to that Ferraro clip. It might have been scripted at one point, but it rolls into a whole new thing. She gets exasperated trying to make her point. She's thinkin' "What? Doesn't he get it? Why the hell doesn't he just play along?"

They have been playing the "insult black folk, just apologize, they will vote for you anway" game for so long, they believe that shit!

Racist and stupid. Damn.

I think it is time to prove them wrong.

mz,

come on down. PA is going to need all hands on deck. The current focus, from a volunteer perspective, is to register as many new voters as possible.

Barack's visit to PA didn't even make the papers on the front page. He did a town hall in Bucks county (north of Phila) at a factory. Looks like he's working the 'blue collar' folks.

He's going to need to keep doing that.

But registering voters by March 24 is the key.

Also, keep in mind, fraud is in the air. Clinton's campaign HQ is in the same building as the Phila voter registration office.

I'm just sayin'...

Hey wait? He's Christian? I thought Obama was Muslim...

Okay, cool. Hey ya'll. Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. is far, FAR from crazy. Anyone who is unfamiliar with him should really google him and read some of his works. He 'breaks it down' in ways you may have never considered.

As for Obama, I'm glad that all of this has 'come out'. Yes, I'm happy, especially since he's got to be twice as good to get half as far. And he is STILL beating Sen. Clinton!

So, when Obama gets the nomination, what else will the Republicans have to throw? Sen. Clinton will be shown for what she is.

If Obama doesn't get the nomination and the Democratic party implodes, good! It needed to die, if this is what is does the best candidate it has seen in 40+ years

For all the anon 11:53's there are a few more of the anj's at 12:54.

Of course, I am supporting Obama.

But you know what? This is just the beginning. I feel like this man is singlehandedly trying to raise this country to the ideal that it "SAYS" it wants to be.

My daddy used to always say "If they didn't want folks to read it, they shouldn't have wrote that shit down"

He was talking about the "Constitution" and the "Declaration of Independence"

My daddy raised me to be independent enough to believe those documents, but not so naive as to think that holding those beliefs would make life any easier for me.

The chorus of cynics will 'only grow louder and more dissonant.'

Just a slight correction.

MLK, Jr didn't originate 'the arc of the moral universe...', Theodore Parker, a bold preacher, did.

Excerpt

Both ministers were defiant of the laws of the day. Rev. Parker actively sheltered runaway slaves in his Boston home and routed them to Canada, in violation of the federal Fugitive Slave Act. When he preached, he laid a pistol on the pulpit in case any slave catchers should try to apprehend fugitive slaves in the congregation. Dr. King advocated open, non-violent resistance to the Jim Crow laws restricting the rights of African Americans and was jailed on numerous occasions.

Here's the link.

The real Clinton tax returns and the money ex-pres Clinton made in his dealings in Colombia...THAT'S what was worth bringing up Bosnia again.

He would rather sling mud on his wife that take the heat for what he did to make $$ in Colombia.

They are made for each other.
