You've got to pace yourself. You've got 5 months and getting all excited at every little comment will put you in the hospital and you'll miss your chance to vote for second rate health care.

Hillary was something like 30% ahead of Obama in polls a year ago too wasn't she?

Hispanics came out for Hillary by a vast margin in Texas, Florida, etc. There's been a lot of strife between the black and hispanic communities, resulting in a lot of mutual distrust, so I was thinking between that and McCain's immigration positions they would trend towards him.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

What is your standard for being black? I guess having a white parent doens't matter. As long as he looks darker than you, he must be black.

Racists for McCain unite!

My standard for saying someone is black is when they say they are black.

I think the anti-black racists have already united behind McCain, so your call to action is a bit slow.

Obama himself says he is a black man. He and pretty much everyone else forgets that he is also "White"
