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!

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!!!!

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. babyming said…

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.
