Moyers 9PM EST- Steele on Race and Obama

Fri Jan 11, 2008 at 05:45:10 PM PDT

Updated to change title, apparently Race an Racism has reared it's ugly head, even here on Kos.

If it's Friday, it's Bill Moyers Journal night, lucky us!

The impressive Kathleen Hall Jamieson providing more campaign watching tips;

Kathleen Hall Jamieson spoke with Bill Moyers last week about life after Iowa and the power of good speechmaking. She returns this week to look behind the flurry of post-New Hampshire predictions and how to watch debates:
"I recommend not watching before the debate and after the debate. I recommend that after the debate you turn the debate off and you talk with your family about what you saw and what was important to you. And you think about what you saw."

Shelby Steele, 'self described black conservative'

author of the recent book A BOUND MAN: WHY WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT OBAMA AND WHY HE CAN'T WIN.

Hmmmmm, looks like even George Will disagrees with Steele, this should be interesting. "Obama seems to understand America's race fatigue, the unbearable boredom occasioned by today's stale politics generally and by the perfunctory theatrics of race especially."

Daniel Yankelovich

It was "Dewey Defeats Truman" all over again after New Hampshire. How can polls be so wrong? Below you'll find some tips for evaluating political and public opinion polls and resources for keeping the campaign numbers in perspective.

I'm looking forward as usual to Moyers show.
