If Crowley has put in 10 positive reports about Obama all political season, I'd be surprised. I don't know why you are.

Posted at September 16, 2008 11:30 AM in response to CNN's Candy Crowley: Not My Role To Judge Who The Bigger Liar Is

I have often thought Obama was one of the luckiest SOB's ever born.
But, it is about opportunity=luck +preparation

The stars have aligned for him in this way. It's been this way from the beginning. Even his losses turn out to be lucky. What if he had won that Congressional Seat in 2000. I don't think he would have been Senator in 2004. So, even the losses turned out good for him.

the only true Republicans that I know up close and personal are my best friend's family. They are Latino/Arab immigrants (from Colombia via Syria)she's the lone Democrat. Talking to them was fascinating.

Her father was like, after Obama's speech - it will be good to have an Orator in the White House. He adores Michelle and believes that Obama is smarter than people ever give him credit for because he married Michelle. He thinks Michelle rocks. He is, despite his political leanings, a man who raised 4 indepedent, successful daughters, and he realizes a good woman when he sees one.

His wife is voting for Obama because she feels McCain is an idiot who insulted women with Palin.

My friend has 3 sisters - two have left careers to be stay-at-home mothers - they loathe Palin. They think she's a bad mother and unqualified. It was so interesting to hear them tick off a list of qualified GOP women.

Her oldest brother said Palin was a dealbreaker for him. He brought up McCain's age, cancers, and that she wasn't qualified. He thought America could deal with 4 years of Obama, who he thought was impressive. He couldn't believe Obama took the Clintons out, and thus, earned his respect.

It was a fascinating talk.

I find it fascinating. I've read the entire speech, and the only part you can highlight is one paragraph about Black fatherhood? Nothing about the policy prescriptions, or the historical context, Mr. Sargeant, but that one paragraph. I'm not surprised.

No negative comments about Obama's speech?

You haven't been in the Black Blogosphere, because I've been debating his speech on five of them.

Check out:

Prometheus 6

Jack and Jill Politics

Oliver Willis

Ta-Nehisi Coates

The Field Negro

Booker Rising

Nothing but debates on them.

I happen to believe Obama's speech was distorted. I've read all of his speech.

what this should read is that, LESS THAN HALF..

of the most loyal base of the Democratic Party...

Wants Clinton as the VP.

45 percent of the most loyal base of the party

That's the best she could do.

I understand that it was the most important election of the night. They tried the twin Black Bogeymen of Obama and Wright. This is MISSISSIPPI.

It didn't work.

It was hilarious. I'm so used to Pat being Pat, nothing he does surprises me anymore.

Fifty-Nine Percent of THE BASE.

She could only get support of 59% of THE BASE.

She's a CLINTON.

I think it's too high, but take the poll at its word.

59%

What Democrat could win WITHOUT 90 % of the Black vote.

I will NEVER under ANY circumstances vote for her. Not now. Not EVER.
