  My good professor...

  Full confession here: I did not vote for Obama in my primary. However, he clearly will win the nomination. Given that, I have a question for any Democrat who says s/he won't vote for him in November: Do you really want to hand McCain the Supreme Court nominations?

  McCain thinks we need more justices like Scalia and Alito. Do you really want that to happen? Will you be able to live with the consequences (and with yourself) if that happens?

  It seems to me, my good professor, to be awfully late in the game to asking this question. The time to have asked it with a clear head was when the Oprah started that celebrity nonsense and videos about change. We're all over 18 and we all understand how much it takes to get things done in Washington and that policy winks and experience and friends are in fact much needed. Certainly if not then the time to have stopped all this madness in its tracks was hen Obama charged into South Carolina race-baiting the black vote to divide the electorate. Instead of nonsensically going along with that plain old trash that the Clinton's had suddenly, w/o any explanation, overnight become jackbooted racists. And if you really DID believe it as an AA, than when the memos surfaced that showed it was a full blown part of Axelrods plan THAT was the time to do the right thing.

  Asking white women, and yes, hard working whites and hispanics

  who had worked so hard and long for the party to stomach what happened from there on forward is simply asking too much.

  If you were so worried about the appointments, this seems like a hell of an inopportune time to speak up. The damage is simply done.
