I wrote this comment a little while ago on another post
I have the Democrats Joe Liberman solution....Chuck Hagel. Some how the message should be delivered to Mr Liberman to tone down his rhetoric or he will be kicked out of the conference and Chuck Hagel will switch to Independent and caucus with the Democrats!!

Is it legal for the DNC to offer Hagel money?

What Obama Could Have Said About His Pastor
Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a True Patriot
By LAWRENCE KORB and IAN MOSS
In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F. Kennedy's challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines. In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. (They provide medical assistance to the Marines as well as to Navy personnel.)
The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy's premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief's medical team, and helped care for President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery. For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House awarded him three letters of commendation. What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated.
While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections.
Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system? Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice something or those who merely talk about their love of the country?
After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished his final year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of America's biggest cities.__This man is Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the retiring pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, who has been in the news for comments he made over the last three decades.
Since these comments became public we have heard criticisms, condemnations, denouncements and rejections of his comments and him. We've seen on television, in a seemingly endless loop, sound bites of a select few of Rev. Wright's many sermons. Some of the Wright's comments are inexcusable and inappropriate and should be condemned, but in calling This him "unpatriotic," let us not forget that this is a man who gave up six of the most productive years of his life to serve his country.
How many of Wright's detractors, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly to name but a few, volunteered for service, and did so under the often tumultuous circumstances of a newly integrated armed forces and a society in the midst of a civil rights struggle? Not many. While words do count, so do actions. Let us not forget that, for whatever Rev. Wright may have said over the last 30 years, he has demonstrated his patriotism.
Lawrence Korb and Ian Moss are, respectively, Navy and Marine Corps veterans. They work at The Center For American Progress. Korb served as assistant secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration.

That African American vote will only turn against Ms Clinton if she is anointed the nominee (behind in every catergory yet the super delegates come to her rescue). However it will not just be AA, but young people and independents taking a walk also. Everybody likes to point to he Kennedy/Johnson model to say that everybody will play nice when the times comes. Those are too different eras....one where information was the purview and priviledge of a select few...i suspect the vast majority of people never knew of the riffs beween Kennedy and Johnson until years later. This campaign is being played out in our living rooms and on our computers and pdas and cell phone and every where...much like the Vietnam war. It is going to be very hard to put this genie back into the bottle if the Dems are not careful

"I think we can expect to see Obama's poll numbers continue their downward spiral in the days and weeks ahead. Sure, he'll maintain an anemic delegate lead, but as time goes on (and time is no longer his friend) he'll seem increasingly vulnerable as a candidate."

What poll number slide? Wasn't he behind significantly in both Ohio and Texas a few weeks ago?

As a supporter of Mr Obama, I would rather he loses than go negative. I don't care about the Clinton's tax returns or who Mr Clinton may or may not be sleeping with. Mr Obama promised a new way of doing politics and I for one hope he sticks to it. He must provide a break from the politics of them versus us politics of personal destruction and the philosophy of doing whatever you have to do to win. I know...I am naive but I am also tired of watching my country divided in a time when it most needs to be united. I am tired of politician preying on our fears. From our standing in the world to our crumbling infrastructure to the abuse of power (the President) and the impotence of power (Congress) something has to change. If Mr Obama's new way is not to be this cycle so be it( I still think the math is on his side) but I for one hopes he will maintain the high ground in this battle.
