		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;Maybe all black folks should scare dem leaders by threatening to stay home or write in someone like Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader if the nomination is stolen from Barack.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That&#039;s definitely the plan for me.  I&#039;m an Independent who hasn&#039;t voted Dem since Dukakis in &#039;88, but I was willing to come back to the fold to pull the lever for Obama.  Aren&#039;t I the type of voter that the DNC is supposed to be so rabid for?  I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only one so the DNC poobahs can play if they want to, but if they screw this up they will have no right on November 5 to whine about how they can&#039;t attract swing voters when there&#039;s a golden opportunity in their laps &lt;b&gt;RIGHT NOW!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Barack and Michelle are such a gorgeous couple.  It really comes through in photos of them how much they are head over heels for each other.</description>

		<description>Barack&#039;s (and Michelle&#039;s) ascension is illustrative of how far many of us have come in American society.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s also a stark reminder of just how far many Americans still have to go.</description>

		<description>This picture got me thinking about the feeling I had when I wrote this, back in Oct, on a blog I participate in:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;http://www.gerardbutler-afterdark.com/2007/10/baracks-greatest-asset.html&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I just think they are such a (as someone put) authentic couple and wonderful example to hold up as being  representative of our country. How can anyone look at that and see differently...I wonder?</description>

		<description>ms. martin, ms. martin, telling it like it &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I think that we all need to remember that this is an epic struggle for the right and the power to drive an agenda that is in opposition to the agenda of the Clintons and others who  have been in the driver&#039;s seat for a long, long, time. In other words, they ain&#039;t leavin&#039; the car peacefully. And, they will fight to the last moment.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We have an opportunity to take the car. We have followed the rules and played the game accordingly. We will get there and we will be able to deliver ourselves from this morass.</description>

		<description>Very good column by Myerson over at the Washington Post.  He says that, if the Clinton team still the nomination, then blacks, the dems most loyal constituency, may stay home or vote for someone else.  He also says that Hillary&#039;s below-the-belt attacks against Barack  is similar to the attacks the GOP played on anti Vietnam candidates of the 60&#039;s.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Maybe all black folks should scare dem leaders by threatening to stay home or write in someone like Cynthia McKinney or Ralph Nader if the nomination is stolen from Barack.</description>

		<description>I almost want to concede and walk away.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don&#039;t agree with all of Obama&#039;s ideas, but maybe-just maybe-there&#039;s something better than business as usual.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Komack makes a point: Hillary and McCain have thrown their spouses under the bus at various times. Michelle would-and has-gone through the gates of hell for Barack.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I almost want to concede and walk away.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t agree with all of Obama&#8217;s ideas, but maybe-just maybe-there&#8217;s something better than business as usual.</p>
<p>Komack makes a point: Hillary and McCain have thrown their spouses under the bus at various times. Michelle would-and has-gone through the gates of hell for Barack.</p>

		<description>I can appreciate the difficult decisions regarding selection of news, ads, and the pressures involved in those management decisions. This morning our  local WRAL TV station decided not to air the NC GOP attack ad at a critical time in our national  and state electoral process.  They should be applauded. I’ m suggesting that you contact any station showing the ad and express your feelings.  The image is in the public domain.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Rev. Wright ad  as well as the one about gangs is not just  about politics. There are several subliminal coded race messages lodged in the ads.   These stations are not merely informing the public but they are unwittingly contributing to stirring up racial animus in our community.  The ads do not bring out the best in us.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Also I am have asked Senator Dole and  Senator Burr not to contribute to stirring up racial animosity. I want both of them to join Senator McCain demand that the N.C. GOP attack ads be pulled.  The Clinton campaign has been conspicuously slight on this issue.   Race is in the campaign because Senator Obama is an African American, but racist tentacles do not have to be ingrained in this campaign.  We are better than this as a nation, as North Carolinians.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I’ m asking them to make an ethical and not a political decision.</description>
