If it weren’t for this stuff, which also came up in ’06, I think I might be somewhat rabidly enthusiastic about Webb as a veep nominee, because I think he does an excellent job of communicating a national security/foreign policy viewpoint compatible with Obama’s (against dumb wars, strong enough to negotiate, etc.), and he’s done [...]
The Florida court has had quite a run. First, its ruling extending the deadline for hand recounts was vacated by a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, then its subsequent decision calling for a statewide partial recount was found constitutionally suspect by a 7-2 majority of the Supremes. The 7-2 majority objected to hand recounts on “equal [...]
He’s not respectable at all. Barack Obama was and is the right man for the job despite him not being in the military his intellegence makes him better suited to run a country than an ex-soldier with an itchy trigger finger. Why do people think he’s owed a position to run a country just because [...]
A more subtle change was the distribution of delegates within each state. As part of the proportional system, Democrats award delegates based on statewide vote totals as well as results in individual congressional districts.

I am completey torn about the case. I was not surprised at all that the cops were acquitted. Blacks in New York city (and surrounding boroughs) are second class citizens. I don’t understand why the so-called leaders and the mayor was asking for no violence. Blacks already know that if they get out of line [...]
President Barack Obama declared Monday that insurance giant American International Group is in financial straits because of “recklessness and greed” and said he intends to stop it from paying out millions in executive bonuses. “It’s hard to understand how derivative traders at AIG warranted any bonuses, much less $165 million in extra pay,” Obama said [...]
Most African Americans didn’t mind other AA’s supporting the Clinton camp, no problem at all. But when they tried to paint Obama as some ‘stereotypical’ nigga from the hood (to scare white voters), that’s when the Clintons lost the AA community! It was the Clinton plan and well coordinated, otherwise Clinton would not have to [...]
Sec. of State Condolezza Rice alluded to a resentful attitude held by many people in America who identify themselves as Black toward a group of people they consider White. This resentment also extends to the United States of America according to Rice. Miss Rice told editors and reporters at The Washington Times that the United [...]
