If obama is elected, ted and i need you onboard to at least wish him well. I know you would do that but some of the other cons on the thread will start tearing him apart (again) the day after election day. Though as you know, i hold many conservative views, I cannot stand the hate filled right and their cheerleaders like limbaugh doing things that hurt america. I also think that guys on this thread like inode defy their own decent natures is their relentless assault on whoever limbaugh is attacking on any given day. Lets remember before inode and hugh were for mccain they were against him. Before the more extreme dems attacked his service, it was the right in 2000 that did. I have made up my mind to vote for obama now. Lets see how long i stick with my decision. Major reason was mccains age and his failure to withdraw his presidential aspirations like kennedy did as he got older. Getting mccain in 08 is like reagans second term when the alzheimers set in. I would rather risk it on a relatively inexperience guy with giant intellect and a committment ot both change and conciliatory politics that give it to a too old man going for the gold long after his time has passed. Now i will prepare to get ripped a new one from dave and hugh not to mention latrine after my last post.

Don't you want to be able to tell your grandkids that YOU helped Obama get elected? That YOU had a hand in making history?

If this doesn't do it, there will be nothing left to blame. The factors that have caused black poverty and dysfunction will not have gone away just because Obama is elected president. They will still be considered factors to blame. And I never said that Obama will eradicate poverty, nor am I accusing his supporters of having such fantasies. (Well not really.) All I need to see is a change in the trend, but that could take years even after a would-be Obama administration. The trend has changed. Obama wouldn't have been possible 30 years ago. You wouldn't have been possible sixty years ago. I wouldn't have been possible 80-100 years ago. The black rate of change has always been slower than the rate for other ethnicities. Hopefully, that rate may pick up with Obama's nomination and possible election. That doesn't mean there hasn't been progress.........there has, but its still too slow.
