What Do We Really See

"Tonight, despite all the talk of how little race matters in this campaign, it is clear that race is still a big deal in bi-racial campaigns. And it has showed up for the first time, in a measurable way, in the 2008 presidential race.

It means that every poll -- from exit polls to tracking polls -- are absolutely suspect from here on out." Obama, Polls, and Race, by David Kuo

"Can polls that show the public willing to vote for a black candidate be taken at face value? It is undoubtedly true that racial attitudes in the U.S. have become more tolerant over the past five decades, and African American candidates have won high office in many states. But it is also true that the expression of racist attitudes is less socially acceptable now than in the past. This may lead some people to tell pollsters that they are more tolerant than they actually are".

Do some of us still only see a black family?

Moving On: One Last Homage To Hillary Clinton For Now

Barack Obama's comment was a little on the snarky side but it's what a lot of people are thinking. I want a Democrat in the White House but I won't be fooled. Let's hope all the policies Hillary was for, while she garnered experience in the White House, come out as this race tightens up.

Hillary Trashed By the Media And Women Respond

Regardless of whether Hillary's emotional moment was real or not she was treated with a lack of respect by the mainstream media including the 27/7 gasbags.


Air America radio host Rachel Maddow talks to MSNBC hot air pundit Pat Buchanan about MSNBC's resident gasbag Chris Matthews' comments.

Not Because She's A Woman

Hillary Clinton points to all the woman who helped her win the N.H. Primary

I'm sorry. I watched as they interviewed a woman my age, who just stepped out of one of those more intimate meetings with Hillary and she looked as if she had just spoken to God. "Oh she cares so much for this country and where it's going she just HAS to win" I thought I'd lose my lunch. If women vote on the emotion of "first woman as President" and not the issues, we're doomed.

HELLO, remember Bill Clinton, the young boy from Hope, Arkansas who wanted to follow JFK into the White House. Well he did alright. Right into the oval office where he seduced a young intern into giving him a blow job. Has everyone forgotten that. If Monica Lewinsky was any younger Bill would practically be a pedophile. Twice I voted for him and it's where I place the blame for this Bush presidency. Al Gore would have been elected if it wasn't for Bill Clinton's arrogance. BUT, we're voting for Hillary not Bill. Fine, then don't use him in the campaign to get votes and promise to ban him to the nether regions for the term of your presidency.

Think before you vote: Bush(4) Clinton(8) Bush(8) Clinton does that sound like change to you. Remember eight years of hating the Clintons, that's their legacy.

Saying she is more qualified for the presidency from day one is an insult to Barack Obama and anyone else elected to that office. Being more qualified for elected office is one thing. The only one more qualified for the presidency is the President who just served the last four years in office.

In Favor Of The Death Penalty

He led investigators to her body Monday in exchange for prosecutors' agreeing to drop consideration of the death penalty against him, according to Union County District Attorney Stan Gunter.

I think when there is irrefutable evidence such as witnesses or DNA, execution should be swift. No appeals. Set a date and get it done. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. After justice for the innocent send the guilty on their way so he can have them. Now the taxpayers have to pay for this dirtbag's days in prison.
