The race for California

Clinton and Obama battle for a mother lode of delegates -- in a state with a nonwhite Latino, Asian, black majority. Who has figured out the electoral math?

    Obama is very calculating and the news is slow to trickle out

    Does, anyone know what "Civil Rights" cases he worked on?

    I am sure it wasn't Gay Rights!

    I also listened as he said on a live radio show on Monday that his Health Plan was 90% the same as Hillary's! Edwards would disagree with him on this latest claim (just as he did during the debate) and we can rule out Al Gore as a running mate, but Kerry is waiting in the wings for the opportunity to serve with the DEMREP.

    Hillary has a proven record of service but all this is over looked by the Making of Candidate.

    Oh, and let us not forget; you only get this one chance to vote for him because as his wife said they are not going to do this again. John Edwards is willing to fight for justice, even if it takes years, but like he said he is an adult. Adults know it takes years and threats of not trying again just don't cut it in the "Real World".

    Where was Mr. YES WE CAN OBAMA during the 187 proposition? Was he filing briefs, was he walking in protests...I guess back then it was "NO WE CAN"T", just as in 2004 the RAINBOW was too bright for him to take a photo with Gavin Newsom in San Francisco. As someone that had an open gay couple (tux and all) at my wedding in the early 90s I am shocked. Friends are those that stand next to you during hard times and that take you along as family because you are without testing the wind conditions. Now we are beginning to see why early on the Black Community was reticent to endorse him.

    YES WE CAN (United Farm Workers and Dolores Huerta), endorses Hillary. http://www.ufw.org/_board.php?mode=view&b_code=news_press&b_no=3485&page=1&field=&key=&n=507

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%AD_se_puede

    Sí se puede (Spanish for "Yes, It can be done!") is the motto of the United Farm Workers. In 1972, during Cesar Chavez's 25 day fast in Phoenix, Arizona, he and UFW's co-founder, Dolores Huerta came up with the slogan.
