I'm reaching the point that I'm going to pull out of personal comments about the Clinton/Obama race... and this nonsense about Michigan and Flordia should get seated at the convention. I'll just start burning down bridges and Nov. is too quickly approaching for that kind of nonsense. I'll keep linking to others who have something of interest to say.
But I have too much anger with the Democratic Party and those who sat down and did nothing after 9/11 gave Bush some coat-tails to run conservative policy down this road we're now on. With no opposition party in sight our country has become quite a sorry state.
There is rotten wood in this party. We're rebuilding; I can tell you that because I'm meeting and working every day very inspiring and talented people who are just as dedicated to taking on conservative policy as I am. We will turn the tide it just takes time and a lot of hard work.
TPM find #2
For Reason before she was against it?
Not sure quite what it means. But TPM Reader JB dug up this passage from a December 2006 article in the Times about what then seemed the likely prospect that a women and a black man would be competitive candidates in the 2008 Democratic primaries ...
“All evidence is that a white female has an advantage over a black male — for reasons of our cultural heritage,” said the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, the civil rights leader who ran for president in 1984 and 1988. Still, he said, for African-American and female candidates, “It’s easier — emphatically so.”
Ms. Ferraro offered a similar sentiment. “I think it’s more realistic for a woman than it is for an African-American,” said Ms. Ferraro. “There is a certain amount of racism that exists in the United States — whether it’s conscious or not it’s true.”
“Women are 51 percent of the population,” she added.
