		<description>@Rikayh&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don&#039;t know what your problem is, but I asked a serious question and was looking for an answer.  I never said I was neutral.  If I supported Hillary, I would have no prolem making my point known. If you really don&#039;t have anything to add to the discussion, why speak.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s none of your business, but for record, I have been a financial contributer and supporter of Senator Obama since Feb 2007.</description>

		<description>@ Craig:&lt;br/&gt;Craig, I agree that Obama is a brilliant strategist and that we all need to relax. But I&#039;m not sure Edwards is going to commit for Obama at this time, if ever. I think I would also prefer that he not commit if it means that Liz (his wife) is going to commit to Hillbilly at the same time. At this writing, I think the most dangerous thing she (Hillbilly) can do is to announce her continuing campaign running as an independent. To me, that would be the only way Obama would lose the GE.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As far as the supers are concerned, I think it&#039;s easy for us to criticize and be dismissive about their unique, individual situations. Let&#039;s face it, they all want to keep their jobs, and their situations are very sensitive. My congressperson is flagrantly campaigning for clinton and I have to admit that I&#039;m a little mad at her. I&#039;m not prepared to write her any hate letters at this time. I have never donated to her campaign, but I&#039;m considering donating to her opponent in the future, especially if I don&#039;t see her campaigning her ass off for Obama in the GE. I&#039;m saying all this to say it isn&#039;t as cut and dried as we want it to be.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I wish there was a way to punish the MSM for their clear bias and discrimination. I swear that Pat Buchanan is MSNBC&#039;s resident klansman. I just can&#039;t take any more of his viagra induced racist invective. He was on this morning with Keith Boykin, who I love and miss as an MSNBC comentator. I have emailed them so many letters requesting his termination (Pat&#039;s), but I guess it&#039;s not going to happen.  This past Friday&#039;s Morning Joe was the best I&#039;ve ever seen (since joe&#039;s dumb self wasn&#039;t there). I wonder why Tiki Barber is willing to be their token Black? They treat him like the spook who sat by the door or something.</description>

		<description>This website might help locate the supers:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/interactives/campaign08/primaries/2008_superdelegates.html&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I hope I can find the time and courage to call WVA tomorow. I love it and miss it so much and get very emotional when I think about it. I dont want to be on the phone crying about how much I miss my grandparents, though I miss them everyday. I had such a positive and probably unusual experience there in (totally) rural W. Virginia. Lets not forget that WVA has it&#039;s share of AA dignitaries just like everywhere else; Tony Brown, TD Jakes, Booker T. Washington, Henry Louis Gates Jr, and many more.... &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I love the ad Obama is running there and I think it should be run nationally. I&#039;m not sure what people&#039;s objections might be to it. I&#039;ve heard some of my white co-workers say that he is trying to keep his white ancestry in the closet, and that he only promotes his Black ancestry when his daddy didn&#039;t even raise him. They don&#039;t know why, and think he is ashamed of his whiteness. America pretty much demands that a person pick which camp they&#039;re in, which is very much based on looks. You can be white if you look white, which is the case of some of my relatives. But if you look like you have any black in you, as in 1 drop, then you are treated accordingly. I guess it is easier for us to accept him in his ethnic/racial totality since we have a similar experience. I&#039;ve never heard of a person being dead to their Black family for marrying outside of the race, but I&#039;ve known quite a few biracial people who had no contact with their white or Asian relatives. I&#039;m not sure why so many white people are in deep denial about this and other issues.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I read @ dailykos that the &quot;Obama might pay off Hillbilly&#039;s debts&quot; story might be a story circulated to kill his financial momentum. Its against the campaign finance laws. I understand that he wants to appear as a good guy and appease her more militant white female following, but I won&#039;t personally be contributing to that specific kitty. Let her pay for it. She is trying to RUIN his chances at winning so she can try again in 2012. There are many female politicians who are so much better than her in so many different ways. I hope she is finished for LIFE.</description>

		<description>craig,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You&#039;re right.  That would be the perfect time to make that Edwards endorsement.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And I still think Obama&#039;s got Al Gore waiting in the wings if he needs him.  Although, at this point, poetry might see Obama use Gore&#039;s endorsement to symbolize the end of the Clinton era.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m keeping my cool.  The math is the math (and that won&#039;t change after WV and KY).  But I&#039;d just like to see the supers move a little faster than they are.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Democrats rally behind the frontrunner all of the time.  It just frustrates me that some want to see Obama jump through just one more hoop before they endorse.  They can end this thing right now.  It&#039;s time to move on.</description>

		<description>Barack Obama is the shrewdest politician who also retains integrity that I&#039;ve ever seen.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Shortly after Obama loses West VA by 30 points (or more), John Edwards, Mr. Blue Collar White Male Populist, endorses the Black man, throwing a huge wrench into the empty MSM spin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Y&#039;all need to relax.</description>

		<description>Politicians are strange creatures, ms.martin.   They are phony as a matter of course.  They cut each other one day and smile for the cameras the next...just like they cut us and then pander another day.  Everybody is expected to swallow hurt feeling for political expediency.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I couldn&#039;t survive in that environment, and don&#039;t know how they do it.   We are appalled at the race-baiting, yet they remain placid and tell us this is politics.  This is something foul, really politics has to change.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m trying to understand. As a native of the SF Bay area, what do you think is wrong with Willie Brown??&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m an Obama supporter but I recognize that not ALL Black people are going to support him.  Some might support Hillary and some might even support McCain. I&#039;m open to discussing and debating the issues with other African Americans, but I&#039;m concerned that we want &quot;Blacks&quot; to be of one mind only when it is convienant for us.</description>

		<description>Golden Star is correct. If I remember well, Obama has more offices open in West Virginia and Kentucky than Hillpatine.</description>

		<description>Co-sign with ppm.  Clyburn&#039;s playing it smart. He knows that if he publically declares, he won&#039;t get any airtime at all. And without airtime, he wouldn&#039;t be the voice of reason and sanity that he is.</description>

		<description>Speaking of Tubbs-Jones, Here is her interview with Andrea Mitchell:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhuLhkyGdD0&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Notice the kabuki being played out here? They both act as if Clinton only talked about white working class voters, and never used the phrase &quot;hard working&quot;.</description>

		<description>To all who ask about Barack&#039;s campaigns in WV and KY. There are campaign offices in these states. There are staffers and volunteers working these states. There are opportunities for us to be calling voters in these states.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Obama demonstrates real-world analysis and action. He is actively campaigning for every vote possible. But, he WILL NOT WIN either state. That is the reality of it all.</description>

		<description>Just a couple of thoughts on Cong. Clyburn&#039;s neutral stance--in my view, neutral means neither uncommitted, nor undecided.  It simply means publicly undeclared. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mr. Clyburn is acting as he should as one of the highest ranking African-Americans in the House Leadership, a position no other African-American has held. It gives him a unique and important role as power broker and elder statesman. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;My respect for him has grown exponentially during the course of this election season.  He has been a constant voice of reason, clarity and great judgement.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To lump in with with the likes of Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Sheila Jackson-Lee is a travesty. He has more honor and integrity in his little finger than those two have combined.</description>

		<description>i once saw this documentary about the town of corbin ky. sometime in the thirties the whites of corbin went nuts and rampaged through the black neighborhood killing, burning, looting, and evicted the whole neighborhood on a train that night. this is my memory of the documentary. it featured 1990&#039;s interviews with white residents who remembered the incident, did not deny it, and did not appear to feel any remorse. wonder if this little moment of nazi germany in america will be rehashed as ky. takes center stage tues after next.</description>
