Hi everyone,

I really do like & voted for Obama, but Kai is right, it’s a dangerous premise that Obama is building a base that is colorblind.

It’s going to be real challenging to sustain the broad coalition he’s organizing.

If anyone’s interested, Shelby Steele came out with a book: A Bound Man: Why we are excited about Obama and why he can’t win.

If he does, he will lose. That doesn't mean, however, that he will look over it as president. <br/><br/>We gotta trust the brother. We are more apt to trust people like the Clintons (maybe from our slave days) than someone black. <br/><br/>There is strategy at play here. Obama can’t attack racism head-on as he is campaigning.

I mean look at it, the Clintons race-baited him and whites ran from him like he was Tank Johnson.

And OT: Did anyone see the new Frank Rich columnThe Billary Road to Republican Victory?

Not only is it good, but I can’t stop cracking up at how BILLARY is becoming a commonly used nickname.
