Ferraro versa Wright
In the ring it appears that one race (Ferraro) can attack another race (Obama), but when the Rev Wright mentioned a few words similar words as Ferraro, the whole media plays it over and over and over. The same goes for Hillary, she said that she would have left the church had her pastor said those words. What is worst, a President (Clinton) ...

Racism vs. Prejudice

Ferraro was right - why can't we say that?
What's so wrong about saying that Ferraro was right? Why does that make one instantly a racist? Let's look at the facts. Obama is only two years out of the Illinois state house. He wasn't even there very long. No white candidate would get 5 seconds of attention or $1.98 in campaign contributions with that thin of a resume', no matter how eloquent ...

Clinton's Camapign Proves She Is Not Who She pretends To Be.
The campaigns of these two prove without question who will have the leadership chops Clinton claims she has -- and its Obama. 1. Smarter staff 2. More inspiring message 3. Broader support base 4. More level head And this Ferarro flare up, as stupid and small as it may be, adds a new measurement-- the willingness to stand up and do the ...

Maybe Ferraro should have Sullivan at her side
I can understand the argument that Obama's race benefits him when explained by Andrew Sullivan, however, that is not at all the way I understood Geraldine Ferraro's statements, which she has made repeatedly. Perhaps Ms. Ferraro needs to have Andrew Sullivan or Mickey Kaus follow her around and interpret what she means, assuming that IS what ...

The problem with an Obama nomination
Barack Obama will make a excellent President, but not yet. He is only two, or so years out of the Illinois State legislature. He just does not have the experience to be in charge of the mighty nuclear arsenal of The United States. He proved that by his decision to vote against the war in Iraq. Yes, that sounds crazy, but realize that the ...
