The Republican Southern Strategy, winning by using the racism of southern White voters, was successfully implemented just after a vast demographic deluge. In the first five decades of the last century, African Americans migrated from the South to the North and the West in search of better jobs and livelihood as well as to avoid the toxic racial climate of the South.

This is a silly research done by a foreign Journalist. I am an Ethiopian journalist. I am here to cover the presidential election. Obamania has gripped in Ethiopia like almost all countries in Europe and Africa. But people in Ethiopia are not sure as to whether America is ready for a black president. Even if the Bradley/Wilder effect isn't dealt by the news media there, I had received a lot of questions from people back home about it.

Ayers might have worked. Well, at least until the debate. By the high standards of last week, Obama had a week polling days on Monday and Tuesday on all national tracking polls except Gallup. Thus his polling numbers on Wednesday and Thursday were slightly down. On Pollster.com's average Obama's Wednesday number was down by 0.8 percentage points from Tuesday. On Thursday, it plunged further by 0.4 percentage points. When the after debate polls started to trickle in, his margin went up again.

Can movement politics be controlled? Since the French revolution in 1789, we have seen plently of movements ending up in self-destructive chaos because movement members are given unlimited say on the issues. Are the netroots going that way in the Obama case?

Barack Obama’s perceived move towards the center has irked some among his legion of supporters who have backed him because they thought he was a genuine liberal who would stand before Americans and convince them that liberal policies are good. On FISA Bill which enshrines immunity clause for telecommunication companies, on Iraq, on gun control and on abortion, Barack Obama seems to be following the centrist course. Some of the reactions from these supporters are valid; and some aren’t.

In the Primary contest, not everyone had believed that Obama, with such pragmatic advisors like Goolsbee and Leibman,and campaign strategists like Axelroad who had gone through the rough and tumble Chicago politics, would remain a NAFTA bashing, anti-war liberal he seemed to be then.The right turn was expected.

The comment of McCain's adviser, Charlie Black, who claimed that a terrorist attack on the American soil before November will help his boss as the assasination of Benazir Bhutto did last December had received McCain's strenous rebuke. But it was McCain himself who said the same thing after the assasination.

Oh yes, it happened. That was the front page headline of Addis Neger, one of Ethiopia’s biggest newspapers. And yes, it is about the story of Barack Obama’s historic nomination. The article delves into details about Obama’s life and how this American is inspiring millions across the world. "America is back," the article boldly claims.

I will be following tonight's primaries from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It will be late here; but as I have done since Iowa, I will, with so much annoyance and disappointment follow, the CNN punditry. What? The best political team on TV?
