And it's still sadly true to too much of this country that a black man or a woman of any color has to be twice as smart and work twice as hard to be thought half as good.

Obama may be a little green, but you sure as hell can't call him a slacker.

Not necessarily backing him in '08. Not necessarily backing anyone yet, though I've got my favorites like everyone else. But I think anybody who wants to run should run, and may the best person win. I think we've got a damn deep talent pool and we should be proud of it! I can think of at least 10 possible Dem contenders who would be excellent Presidents. Who've the Pubs got? Bushlicker McCain, who rolled over for racist insults against his own family? Rudy "Look at meeeeeee!" Giuliani? Cat Killer?
