Hilary had my vote until Billy boy injected the race card. Once she followed up with more b.s because she wasn't kicking Oboma's butt I made the switch. Nobody I know was talking about Oboma before Bill said what he said in S. Carolina. Most black people I know were firmly behind the Clintons.

unfortunately history repeats itself. Most presidents in history who knew too much or wanted to let the people in on things end up dead. I think Obama will be a fair president and I think he will disclose or want to disclose info the government withholds, and that will be his downfall,,,,oh and plus he's a black man, so the "Owners" of the country will not tolerate that.
If he's killed the race war some long for will without a doubt come to pass. Like I've said before, he can potentially be the best thing that ever happen to America or the worst. I don't think anyone of color will have a doubt in there minds that we have to stand up and fight if they assassinate this man. These are not the times of Martin where people only gather to sing hymns when a prominent black leader is killed It'll be either conform to the status quo, roll over and die or stand up and fight. We all know black folk only need a breeze to speed up the burning of the fuse that's been lit since slavery.
I hope and prey we don't go down that road!
I understand, but it would be helpful if everyone understood from the jump the he is Everybodies president, white, asian, latin and black, not just The Black President but The Peoples President.
Thats the mass mentality its gonna take to get him elected to President
Of course I know what your saying , some shit happens everybody is gonna flip and not think about the fact that it took everyione to get there, but as a personal affront.

Time Mag article thats ridicoulously on Point. Im glad a major publiciation finally had the balls to print a article saying the blantant truth. I for one think the media goes light on McCain and if Obama sunk to the same low sleazy level as McCain he would catch way more flack than McCain has caught so far.

I will not be surprised if McCain takes it. Just as in the previous elections, somehow, Bush managed to take it for the second time. People these ends prefer Obama and I think he is a better candidate. McCain seems sly, there is something not quite right about him. Does anyone here think he had surgery? At 72 he looks 20 years younger...
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the world gets along with either candidates when they win.

^^ lol thats not surgery thats makeup and/or photoshop lol ... that man looks like the crypt keeper .. ive seen 72 year olds in better shape than McCain though, i think its also has something to do with his skin cancer as well.
i think Bush won because he played into the beliefs of middle america. His religious beliefs and his non-elistist (aka dumbass) appeal got him the win. MCain is hoping those same voters make him win. If u look at the electoral map in both elections, the middle american states are redded out. Religious, Non-college educated whites are the main Bush voters and will probably be McCAin supporters as well. One thing I think Obama has done that will get him the win is registered new voters. Young voters and college students are much likely to support Obama than older whites. If the younger voters have a large show, Obama will get the win. Also, I think Obamas lead is larger than the polls show. Those polls are done only with registered voters that have voted before, and only done on home landline telephones. They do not factor in new voters, or people who use cell phones instead of a house phone (which is basically like MAD people)
Obamas gonna destroy McCain in the debates. But thats not sayin much. Kerry and Gore both destroyed Bush in debates and he still won. Shit, I could destroy Bush in a debate.

I am so glad to see this. In the Uk, our media and public challenge politicians all the time and no one is immune. Look at what happened to Blair. He was forced out of office for partnering up with Bush on the Iraq war.
Anyway an article like this stateside at least shows the media is not afraid of calling out McCain for what he really is.

Startle Response Linked To Political Preferences
By Michael Todd
A new study presented by the journal Science reached the conclusion that easily startled people might be more oriented to a more politically conservative belief. The research was conducted by Rice University professor of political science John Alford and his colleagues, who studied 46 subjects, each with a strong political belief.
They were all subjected to several tests of startling stimuli and the results were compared to their political viewpoints. The subjects who recorded the biggest startle were a lot more likely to favor issues such as increased defense spending, capital punishment, patriotism, and the Iraq War. The ones who presented a more reserved response to the stimuli tended to support issues such as foreign aid, liberal immigration policies, pacifism and gun control.
The volunteers were shown a series of images including one with a very large spider standing on the face of a terrified person, another with a bloodied face and also a picture with an open wound filled with maggots. The responses received from the photos mentioned above were compared to the reactions received from viewing three placid pictures featuring a happy child, a bunny and a bowl of fruit. The conclusion reached was that the more conservative the political attitude was portrayed, the stronger the startle response was recorded.
These types of politically oriented studies have been going on for quite a while, reaching all sorts of conclusions. One test, for instance, showed that voters tend to favor attractive political candidates; another probed the way a subconscious attitude of a undecided voter can predict his final decision and also the manner voters answer poll questions can offer an insight on the depth of their commitment to a certain candidate.
I was quite struck watching the conventions by the different tones," said co-author John Hibbing, a political scientist at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, about the recent Republican and Democratic conventions. "The Republicans are waving placards saying, 'country first.' Democrats are not saying, 'country last,' but there is a concern that is visceral in one group but not another." Mr. Hibbing is aware that physiology is just one of the many factors influencing a certain political view and from the beginning it was clear that the research will not deliver the ultimate answers when it comes to these matters.
"We are not saying if you sneak up on someone and say 'Boo!' and see how hard they blink, that tells you what their political beliefs are," Hibbing said. He added that the results should not be interpreted that liberals or conservatives are somehow bad for showing a more or less sensitive attitude to threats: "We could spin a story saying it is bad to be so jumpy, but you can also spin a story saying it is bad to be naive about threats," he said. "From an evolutionary point of view, an organism needs to respond to a threat or it won't be around for very long. We are not saying one response is more normal than another."

amen brotha! My only problem is I totally see Cheney taking hell over.
OMG. BLACK PROTESTORS, are going off at Obamas rally for anybody that's watching. I'm sure they've been paid by the Republicans. Between them, Ludacris, that dumb bastard who plays for the Mavericks, we won't have anybody to blame on the right should Barack lose!
