So all you left and right wingers, democrats and republicans, neocons and neodems are all mislead.

We're beginning to see shifts from primary-season commitments and declarations to general election-season posturing and positions -- all in the name of winning. All those "definitive" commitments Obama made during the primaries are slowly shifting to postures designed to win. Make everyone feel good by telling them what they want to hear -- that's what it's all about for Obama. In the primaries, his audience was Democrats. Now, his audience is the general voting population. Oh what a difference.... You're right "if you were smart..."

That topic was not mentioned in this article so you clearly have issues with African Americans in general. God bless you too. The African American districts who feel that their representative has truely worked for thier concerns will get over it and not punish their representative.

I still can't believe a guy with Vernon Jordan and Ron Brown as best freinds could be called a racist. A man who has a problem with blacks would not set up shop in Harlem, when he could live anywhere he wanted to. And you don't stay married to that man, if you don't believe in the same things and people he does. But, sure enough even here at work I have had a guy say 'well, I guess the Clintons true colors are showing now'. What? And anyone who supported Clinton and stayed with her to the end, deserves a medal for their good sense and loyalty. Instead of the rock star bandwagon thing. That said, I am voting for Obama and hoping he doesn't prove to be a liability to black politicians the way Carter has proven to be to the party. (although I think he was doing the best he could, he had a real mess to work with, and he was trying to stay squeaky clean mister nice guy while doing it. Sound familiar?) Man....

They have absolutely nothing in common. It tells me they were a Hillary supporter just because she was a woman, not because of the issues she fought so hard for - like equal rights, universal healthcare and ending the war in Iraq. I am a woman who supported Edwards and would never consider voting for McCain for those reasons. How can anyone possibly switch to McCain if they were a Hillary supporter?

He is intelligent, articulate, and a true role model especially for our young African American males. I could see if Jesse or Al were running, but Barack is totally different. Now they have to remove the egg off of their faces and come to grips with their decision. They need to feel the heat a little. After all money, power and position can't change your skin color. They are still viewed as black no matter how far they think they have come. Racism is still alive and well.

Could be the big boys still have his back since there seem to be more and more people on his list that he doesn't "need", to win the election. What do you think about a candidate that turns on the people in his own party? To threaten to take their seat because they didn't support him in the beginning and put his own people in doesn't sound like democracy to me. Sounds like "change", some might have second thoughts believing in. He's trying to run the campaign the way he did in Chicago when the big boys had his back.

I had no problems with her supporting Clinton, but I took issue with how. She had a very nasty tone at times and could be quite dismissive of Obama as a candidate. I felt she did not respect him and made no attempt to even try to fake it. It is OK to build your candidate up, but not by tearing down the other.
