I don't care if he's purple, he is the best we have got. If he gets elected I unfortunately think there will be many attempts on his life because of the lingering ignorance in this country.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think America is ready for a black president.

Yeah, I think every black person (and not just black) worries about that.

As screwed up as this sounds, the fact that he's a light skinned black man makes his chances better. It shouldn't matter but in this country it still does.

Colin Powell was more palletable to the uptight white American public. And in some ways helped pave the way for others.

Obama's backers are people like you and me. McCain's are not.

While it is true Obama had 1.5 million individual donors, lets not brainwash ourselves into thinking those 10 dollar checks financed his effort. Notice all of the large banks there. Coincidence or an effort to make sure that should he get the win in November the expected new round of bailouts will continue with the YOU and ME people mentioned above left to carry the bill?

DOESNT LOOK LIKE A YOU AND ME ROLL CALL THERE.

That being said he ran a good campaign and the party should support him along with Clinton's base or the Dems will have squandered what was an un loseable election.

This is the kind of crap that we can look forward to seeing throughout this election.
