  •  I'm an Obamaphile! (3+ / 0-)

    My concern is genuine. I truly believe that the only thing that can keep Obama from the Presidency is race-based voting. I think that is the only reason that McCain is tied in the polls with Obama right now, given the unbelievably terrible climate for a Republican.

    Challenging racila voting is something I believe we need to be doing right now. We know it's coming (for crying out loud, the Hillary surrogates are using it to persuad superdelegates as we speak!) so I'm doing all I can to figure out how to combat it and encourage others to make this a high priority in their efforts, as well.

      and let Obama handle as he has so well so far. You are doing an excellent job of keeping  the matter alive and hot. Wright has NOT hurt Obama and the people who are bigots would never vote for him anyway. Why cater to them in any degree. Enough.

      still think he's a muslim. And you somehow want to keep thinking this wright affair will be thwarted with these same people by discussing it over and over.

      Trust me, I said when the story broke it would not go far. Not because it doesn't taint him, but because it creates conflict between two different smear attacks. Those then offset each other and the rest wouldn't vote for a democrat to begin with.

      Let it go...

      I don't want a bigger government, I want an effective government!

    •  And I ask you for the 4th time (0+ / 0-)

      You said you would take our concerns back to the Obama campaign. How are you connected to the campaign? Simple question that needs an answer.

        I'm a member there and feed this stuff up through the various groups I belong to.

        I'm still working on compiling links and suggestions from yesterday's post.

          "various groups you belong to"? And who at the campaign is receiving this stuff?

            ...I left the impression that I was some kind of connected mucky-muck in the campaign. I am a lowly foot soldier, currently 19,015th on barackobama.com. I just pass info up the chain of command via the internet and to my county coordinator here in North Carolina.
