I wrote most of the diary that follows as a way for people who are not African American or who's not aware of the actual scope of the actions being taken to motivate African Americans. So I thought I'd share it with y'all. So here's what I see going on in my lil 'hood.

So I know historically, Afr Am don’t' really vote in large numbers in midterm elections, but I’m thinking this year may be different, and let me say that I don’t' expect some astronomical numbers come Nov 2, it's just that I only have personal anecdotal evidence that the Dem and particularly President Obama's push for Afr Am to vote this midterms are actually working. Are they working in large enough numbers to avert a tidal wave? I'm not sure. I can only tell you, that in conversations I've had, and listening to local "urban" radio and national "urban" radio, people are listening. It seems to me, that the heaviest part of the strategy revolves heavily around radio interviews and spots...

Hi ya'll,

I just got back from a 3 movie day. I saw in the following order: GI Joe, 500 Days of Summer, & The Time Traveler's Wife. I just gonna post a comment in an open thread about about them, but the comment was getting to be too long, so I decided to write a diary a it.

Anyway, here goes:

Let me first say, that no one knows for sure if race was a factor in the arrest of Henry "Skip" Gates Jr. Personally, I think it was a small part, but not all. What I do know though, is that this whole discussion and the ensuing "media fire-storm" that's been happening, is just making me angry.

Warning, this is just a serious rant, it's probably pretty inchohernt, so read it at your own peril.

You know what guys, I know the stimulus bill has passed the House, and will more than likely pass the Senate, but I just need to rant for a little. I know this may not be a very substantive diary, but I just had to put "thought to paper" before my head explodes.

So today, while I was watching some of the coverage of Blago-gate, I got to thinking that just a little over 1 month ago Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected President of United States. I tell ya, with all this, to quote Rachel Maddow, "Guilt by Proximity" coverage of the "Hot" Rod governor of Illinois that the MSM has been doing lately, the SoS drama, the "angry left" that wasn't drama and whatever "problem for Obama" news of the day, I'll admit, I lost some of the glow from election night.

So...

I think many pollsters and MSM type will be very surprised by the African American(AA) turnout this year. Due to the historic nature and interest in the election by AA, I really believe that AA turnout will be phenomenal.

Let me tell ya why...

I just saw this on Ben Smith's Politico Blog.

For all those who said that Barack Needs to Hit Back at McCain for the "Sex-Ed Ad" Well looks like Planned Parenthood has Obama's back.

Some people here on DKOS, TPM, and other Lib sites are saying that the Obama campaign is hitting McCain too late, or not hard enough. I disagree.

I don't profess to being an expert on international affairs, but so many of the posters here are obviously not low information voters. Most of us (I assume) are more aware of some basic international matters than the average American is. I'm not sure the "Russia/Georgia conflict" will affect the campaign, but I would bet that most low information voters fall into 1 of 2 camps:

This is my first diary hope everything is on the up and up. I'm sure someone has already "diaried" about the newsworthy part of this diary, but I have a more personal question? Okay, here goes:

Obama fundraising may be slowing down. The problem doesn't seem like primarily being an issue of obama's supporters just not giving to the campaign, from all accounts it seems like the problem may be that Clinton's major donors/fundraisers are not donating to Obama because some feel the Obama campaign is not "doing enough" to help bring down Clinton's debt.

My question to thoses donors is: What more can Obama do?
