Yep. And listening to her speech last night, and Bill's speech tonight, and watching the amazing fervor and charisma all of the primaries bring--Michell, Hillary, Bill--makes me a bit sad. It makes me wish it *could* have been possible for the Clintons and Obamas to run together on the same

Well, you're entitled to that opinion for sure. Speaking as a liberal, I'm heartened by a return to more liberal thinking. If it means we can look at people as people, instead of using sexual orientation and ethnicity as scare tactics, I'm all for it. If we can respect anyone whether they're

come, on. No true racist is going to vote for Obama just because his number two is a white guy. Biden will help bring in those on the fence who doubt Obama's experience and foreign policy knowledge, and yes, he will comfort some whites. But bring in racists? Not gonna happen. --

You're missing a huge thing here. It was Hillary who said on the record that she was the candidate of the hardworking, blue collar, Midwestern folks, who everyone--everyone--knew to be white voters. It was Bill who reached back and said Well you know, Jesse Jackson won South Carolina too, and

You really, really need to check your facts. Clyburn was on the fence for months. Like many blacks in this country (me included) he was leaning toward Hillary Clinton. But Obama's success, coupled with the Clinton's increasingly hostile and dirty tactics, made him lean toward Obama. I watched

You tend to get personal with people, Gymfig. Why is that? I disagree with you, but I don't get personal and say stuff like nothing is ever humble with you. That's insulting. You don't know me on the level to say I'm never humble. I think Tracey and Martin and many people in this group--with
