Clyburn is on a pedestal as far as I'm concerned..for the reasons Tarado and you describe..I'll add that he was so smart to remain publicly neutral..he was able to speak out when things got ugly as a long time Clinton family supporter..he took good care of Barack and I'll always remember his yet again, speaking up when it's the right thing to do yet politically uncomfortable...

Could I do what Clyburn did on behalf of his people. Honestly, I don't know. The first I heard of Clyburn is during Obama's primary race. He was refusing to endorse Obama.......I thought what a strange attitude. I know that people would think he's racist but you know what.....sometimes you have to say, fukk 'em if they can't take a joke. <g> And when he was interviewed about Obama, he seemed very aloof and detached.......I thought this guy is a stone cold vegetable. Then he started to talk about working very hard to maintain his neutrality in the face of his daughter's enthusiasm for Obama. Followed by this article and his comments within......and I realize now he is so moved by the prospects of Obama running for president, he is nearly beside himself with emotion. Its a beautiful thing! <g> koan: very nicely put: Yes, Clyburn and John lewis are giants!
