Oh come on. Now, if you want to live in dreamland, that's your business and you can pretend all you want, but if you think Obama ain't looking for ALL the black votes to come his way, you're lying. What he has to gain? The presidency....did you forget what he was running for?
He plants himself in little black communities, i.e., Selma,AL, where he thinks he'll make a big speech and enlighten all those dumb folks who they should vote for. His patronizing little stabs he tries to make. Heard his entire little speech and talked with the blacks in my neighborhood who went there. They were disgusted when they left. At least they knew when they were being spoken down to. How he went on and on about the march being the reason his mom and dad got together, blah, blah, blah, pandering to the crowd. He forgot most in the crowd actually knew about the march, unlike him, who was born BEFORE the march, so in essence, his birth had nothing to do with the march as he so eloquently tried to get them to believe.
Everybody there was not fooled by his race baiting.
Now, unless you were there or know someone that was, YOU have no logical argument.

DOW up over 900 points....biggest gain

What can he possibly hope to gain by
showcasing his own hypocrisy? This will not be the last time we will see obstructive partisan tactics from sore losers whose eyes stay trained on the next election cycle. These types strive to undermine any progress that can be made on behalf of the voters to further their own self-serving interests.
If there is no provision in election protocol to account for this specific circumstance, then the logical step would be to create one for next time, not to filibuster in an attempt to strip Minnesota voters of representation for some undetermined period of time. This is probably not the best of strategies for a party who lost 7 (and probably 8) senate seats, and will be sitting with 58 or 59 dems and 2 independents who have tendencies to lean toward the dems.
Being from Texas, I can tell you that sucking up will not come easy for John Cornyn, but I say let him show his true colors. He'll ultimately end up cutting off his nose to spite his own face.
How is she using her religion to gain power and money?
Can you show me facts on that one? Standing up for what you believe in and letting it guide your decisions is not using it to gain power or money. I don't know why people think that someone can check their faith at the door. It's not like taking off your coat. It is ingrained in you. It is something you will base all your decisions, big and small, off of. Since when are good morals a bad thing?
So you think she should just sit at home and knit shirts and keep her pretty little mouth shut? That is completely unfair. We need more strong women in this country. I'm sorry that you had those experiences with women, but you can't lump all strong women into the same boat.
Whatever traction McC hope to gain from the "gaffe",
That Biden story made it through a news cycle or two, but it seems to be gone with the wind after Palin flunked her test.
