On the other hand, he's openly gay in middle school in Texas and that makes him

Keith, what moved me more than Jesse's tears were Roland Martin's almost-tears
on CNN. Had to flip away from the channel several times to keep from losing it

It was great to see. I think Jesse tends to put his foot in his mouth
on more than one occassion, and is too addicted the limelight, but I
think overall people tend to malign him unfairly--throwing out the baby
with the bathwater. I think that shot was worth a million, as the man

Good points. And Obama's Senate seat will need a replacement for two years,
when it'll be up for election again. Could there be a chance that Jesse's son
might try to fill that slot? the endorsement of the former Senator turned Prez

Man, there's a lot of cynicism left over in this election! I choose to think

I saw that. I had to say at that moment, for all that Jesse has pissed me off
recently, I did feel for him. Like him or not, get tired of him at times, can't
deny that he's worked for Black people, that he's done a lot of good. And for

Tavis Smiley was working with Brian Williams on NBC. I completely forgot he was
over there, as I was bouncing between CNN and TVOne. a friend said Tavis was
eating crow, but i know he still doesn't really support Obama because the
