Obama's historic run heads south

Did his victory in Iowa and strong showing in New Hampshire really "put to rest the notion that a black candidate can't win in America"?

    GOP will not win in 2008 that is a lock.. The issue is Hillary or Obama..

    let stop dodging and deal with reality. Given the nitemare war in Iraq and our economy the GOP is out for 2008..

    Now should the country elect a woman who has lived in the shadows of her Husband, a woman who has lived off his coattails, a woman who has a right to be on mission..

    Or should we vote for a Obama a man who fears his own Blackness, a pretender, a man who has yet to demonstate anything other than great timing and good sense ..

    The DEMS/GOP: two parties which have never had a person of color on the ticket

    The electorate: a group of voters who impacted by the Bradley Effect, a group of voters who like pandering , a group of voters who have been as rsponsible for our country's meltdown as any other factor..

    So where do we go from here.. I say bring it on, all the sleaze, the stench, the bigorty, the rightousness, the sexism, the racism, all of it.. we must elect a new president..everything matters..

    Let's do this..Right Here ..Right Now
