This is the first, almost thorough, traditional media coverage that I've seen on the NC robo-calls that FacingSouth has been writing about. NPR really did a good job on this one.

Here's the link: Group with Clinton Ties Behind Dubious Robocalls This is the first headline about this matter that I've seen that includes the Clinton connection.

More after the jump.

Mark Kleiman at the Reality-Based Community blog has managed to articulate perfectly the argument against the accusations that some have made against Barack Obama; e.g. "He's all style and no substance," or "He's an empty suit." It's quite short, and I encourage you all to read it:

Style, Substance and "Kumbaya"

I just caught this synopsis of a surprise visit that Obama made to Union Missionary Baptist Church in Des Moines, IA this morning.

[Disclaimer: I swoon for Obama, so stop reading right now if you find that annoying. FWIW, I'm also a lapsed Catholic.]

Politico link here: Obama Casts Himself as Civil Rights Successor. If a transcript of the speech becomes available, I will post it.

I'm no longer a very religious person, but I was moved by Obama's use of the Moses narrative:

"I didn’t have to go to jail. I haven’t had my head beat in — haven’t had dogs and fire hoses set on me. So I’m benefiting from what the Moses generation did. . . . The question is whether the Joshuas among us are willing to stand up, are willing to be counted, are willing to vote, are willing to organize, are willing to mobilize, are willing to get going.”
