If the Sarah Palin choice says anything about John McCain, outside of his utter contempt for the American people, it is that he has become a WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT.

This choice means that he has become ' their boy' without hesitation.

If this were about choosing a Republican WOMAN, there were plenty other choices of GOP women.

But, this wasn't about that.

This was about selling out to the Religious Right, because Palin is THEIR GIRL.

This link was hat tipped to me by a reader at Jack and Jill Politics.

If you want to know what's up with the Clinton Supporter Mindset, go no further than Rep. Diane Watson, Clinton Supporter.

I don't know how to embed anything other than a link, so click on the link, and take a listen to the audio file.

Hat tip: reader at Jack and Jill Politics

One very interesting poll came out yesterday. The new Rasmussen Poll.

Here is the eye-popper:

Among African-American voters, Obama dominates but Clinton attracts just 59% support

59%.

A Democrat, who, 6 months out, garners 59% of the most loyal base of the Democratic Party.

I am a regular blogger at Jack and Jill Politics and Mirror on America.

Here is what I wrote there:

I know that most of the Black readers on here understand that the attack on Trinity is basically an attack on the best traditions of the Black Christian Church. For our non-Black readers, here is my take on Trinity UCC.

Dear Senator Obama:

Congratulations on running an excellent campaign so far. I'll make this letter short and sweet.

On the subject of accepting Public Financing of a General Election Campaign?

HELL.TO.THE.NAW.

Less than one year ago, when he announced, Barack Obama was a sitting United States Senator of about 2 years.

Hillary Clinton was INEVITABLE. And February 5th was to be her coronation.

Skeptical Brotha would say, with reference to the Clinton candidacy, that ' Resistance Is Futile'. I told him, way back then, it might be futile, but some fights, you just gotta take.

On February 5, 2008, Barack Obama took on the most formidable political machine in Democratic Party Politics, and beat it in 13 out of the 22 contests.(Might be 14, but the vote isn't totally in from New Mexico)

He began with absolutely NOTHING in February 2007, and was able, in about a year, to put together a grassroots campaign nationally that not only is self-financing, but also gets out the vote.

After being told, repeatedly, that the 'Isolated Incidents' that I saw form a disturbing PATTERN of attacks on Senator Obama were in my ' imagination', I decided to help a blogging group that had set up a Wiki.

Some Black posters here, as well as in the Black Political Blogosphere, have been pointing out the Southern Strategy that Clinton has been using on Obama.

I was actually shocked that someone in the MSM- Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, actually brought it up; from where I read, it's been a deliberate attempt to ignore that the Clintons are trying to 'Willie Horton'-ize, Barack Obama.

The Black Blogosphere, however, has been all over this - connecting the dots of this quite obvious attempt to use a Southern Strategy.

As I was thinking about the NON-controversy with Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, I thought about her role in this campaign, and how integral she has been for the Obama campaign.

First and foremost, Michelle Obama humanizes her husband. Her teasing and chiding in the beginning was a signal that Barack Obama is a very gifted man, but he's not the Second Coming, so don't see him that way, because he can't do anything but disappoint you. But, if you see him as a man with gifts, talent, service and inspiration, then he's your man, and stick with him.

While much has been written about Barack Obama's 'appeal' to the White community, because of his non-traditional background (growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia), you can't run a campaign across racial, ethnic and religious lines, if you don't have a narrative that those White audiences can relate to.

Senator Obama was in Hampton, VA yesterday at the Hampton University's Annual Minister's Conference.

Barack Obama gave a MAJOR POLICY speech yesterday...did you know that? If you don't know, I'm not surprised, because of how the 'Mainstream' Media did NOT report on the substance of the speech - AT ALL.

The CBC is up to it's old tricks, folks. They don't want to admit that they were wrong in getting into bed with the Faux News Network. Twenty-six members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) have signed letters to Sen. Barack Obama
