    @redgti2000

    You and I had a respectful and positive exchange not so long ago. I find myself both shocked and disappointed that you are now advocating a McCain presidency because you fear the Democratic party has been hijacked by "radical blacks". Frankly, I'm stunned by your statement.

    @Electro Robot - you expressed similar sentiments, particularly wondering why CNN would bother to speak with Robert Johnson. I, too, was disappointed to see him, but feel obliged to point out that he was there to publicize his letter to the Black Congressional Caucus advocating Hillary for VP, with full knowledge of the Clinton Campaign. He appeared as her surrogate, not as part of the parade of Obama supporting blacks on the news that have so troubled you this morning.

    Today, I am proud of our country and enthusiastic about our future, but not a little disillusioned regarding some of our brothers and sisters on this forum. Nonetheless, in this historic moment, we extend our hands to you in the sincere hope that you will join with us to put an end to the poisonous politics and destructive policies of the last 8 years.
