Early exit polls: Black turnout lower than 2004. What the fuck! You’re telling me these negroes were more willing to cast a vote for John Kerry than Obama. Same shit that happened in California. Unbelievable!

In looking at various polls, it’s clear that the deciding factor in TX will be African American and Latino turnout. With just a 3 to 5% increase from 2004, Senator Obama can win. Of all the worse case scenarios, a loss b/c of low Black turnout will be the most devastating. It was one of the contributing factors in CA, although early voting pretty much decided that. I pray that Black folks get off their asses today and vote!!!!

I am also on pins and needles and get anxious when I see Clinton, I just don’t trust her or her campaign staff.

But I loved the video! Loved to see you Baratunde! And loved the positivity.
I am holding on to that.

“Today will be agonizing…” Now I understand why so many Black folks were so reluctant to allow themselves to believe that this was possible. It’s easier not to believe in a dream than allow yourself to dream and have reality come crashing down on you. Just when I believed that White folks might be shedding their fear and hatred,the ‘red phone’ rings and brings you back to reality.

Today will be agonizing… I’ve heard some Republicans will vote for Clinton because she is the weaker candidate against McCain… as we all know, Clinton is up in the Ohio polls, and I expect her campaign to do some “shady things” in Texas. Anyway, my point is, today is just the beginning of a long, mean few months.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Clinton phonebankers are calling Obama “Osama bin Laden” and then claiming it is a “slip of the tongue.”

Please, someone who knows someone, report this to the Obama campaign.
