A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    Where do I sign up?

    Both Senators Obama and Edwards closely held my attention tonight. I was ready to sign up for changing America to the country we knew it could and should be. I think actually that Edwards and Obama would make a nice ticket. They each have special gifts to add.

    I do hope that some black and some white people will loose their knee jerk racism over this as hopefully, Obama continues his successful quest. If whites are happy to stand at the voting machine and put our trust in a black man to guide a country we hold dear, then I think it is time for black people to let go of some of their hatred and mistrust of us. I know some of us suck but then some black folks are nothing to write home about either. Let this be the beginning of the end of racism too! Wouldn't that be amazing!
