that comment about the pantsuit was hilarious. thanks liam. i have a question. if the only people that are going to be able to vote in this revote are those democrats that are hardcore dems (i.e. not the republicans and independents that may have voted in the dem primary but ended up voting in the republican primary based on the thought that it was the only primary that meant anything) then arent those the same dems that would vote dem in the general election? i know mccain has benefitted from all the rancor but lets remember that he lost that primary in michigan. no revote does not mean a loss of michigan in the general election; dems are gonna have to fight for it like most battleground states. a revote funded by clinton supporters amidst the perception of obama trying to block the vote is not really fair and i dont blame hesitancy on the obama campaign. in fact this whole effort hurts the dems because if obama is nominated, then clinton doesnt mind hurting his chances in november by making him seem like the candidate that disenfranchised them, but then again she may not care about the party. clinton recently referred to the vote as a fair vote that should count and stated that noone "forced" the other candidates to take their names off the ballot. if that isnt proof enough that she is trying to spin this, i dont know what would be.

You're posting was great. Thanks!!! At least I know I wasnt the only one disappointed in the postings. Honestly, I'm impressed Obama was listening to a liberation theologist. And I love my country!!!! This whole thing is annoying.

I agree. I think it goes away....until that debate in philly. I personally am not bothered by the reverend (yes, I'm white) and dont see it the same as if it was some white guy warning against integration.

Does this sway superdelegates? doubtful. Does it mean he'll lose NC, Oregon, Montana and South Dakota? doubtful. Does this even compare to the questions of integrity and honesty surrounding HRC's inventing of her whitehouse foreign policy experience, Schip heroism, supposed opposition to Nafta, her continued insistence that the Michigan vote was fair? Doubtful. She is as fake as they come and relies on an uninformed voter.
But this does expose our country's need to continue to confront racism. Obviously many blacks have different perceptions and views than whites and we need to do more to break down walls and try to see what other people see. Americans would do well to listen to Rev. Wright even if you dont agree with everything he says. I optimistically dont see this taking Obama down. Perhaps its an opportunity for people to see what others experience and why blacks might be more sympathetic to certain views than whites. I am white but happen to agree with certain comments I heard from Wright about America supporting Apartheid and some shady stuff with Cuba and Nicaragua (a topic for another board); those things are true and pointing them out is not anti-american.
