Ed - I'm just trying to bring some light to some of the falsehoods out there. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but I've posted plenty of positives in the past and I will do so again. Thanks for your comments.

Ras - thanks for the poem.

  hi.  by the way what do you hope to gain by bringing this up for the upteenth time.  can you concentrate on Hillary's positive that we support.........unless you prefer Senator Obama's program.  the way to persuade is not to knock your opponent but to give people reasons to support your candidate.  there are more than enough reasons and I hope that you do support Hillary...with this type of email that is below, I wouldn't vote for her.  I don't think that you would either.  there is nothing here supporting her candidacy.

While you may not be for Obama because you are "caught up in the concept", why do you think he's getting 80-90% of the black vote?

Obama acknowledges, with no small irony, that he benefits from his race.

If he were white, he once bluntly noted, he would simply be one of nine freshmen senators, almost certainly without a multimillion-dollar book deal and a shred of celebrity. Or would he have been elected at all?

Ferraro was right

No evidence of sexism?  You're not looking.
