that's good. real good.

Yunz are swinging me but I can't help but feel that it's a bit of snub to not accept at the convention - the convention that sorta made him a star to begin with.

Two speeches? Shit, he could prolly do three and pack every venue.

I laughed at the last question too. It was fun to laugh with Barack. We should figure out who that weenie is and take over his blog.

I expect him to fix it or add an update.

Did anyone actually watch the video they posted on that site? I just did and it's painfully apparent what he meant by "talk white". He meant "play it safe" and "not scare white people". There's plenty of other stuff in that video for people to disagree with but that line was taken fairly out of context.

The truth is predatory lending and other economic abuses in the ghetto are racially tinged issues for a candidate. If Clinton or McCain talked about the plight of the ghetto, they'd be seen as champions. If Barack addresses it he'll be seen (not by the enlightened readers of TPM, of course) as "the black candidate".

Have a look. The last 20 seconds are pretty spot on (just after the "talk white" comment) and something that his supporters should be aware of and not afraid to talk about.

The video

It's settled. I want to make out with John Conyers.

just to be clear, my point is that the dems lost 2000 on their own accord, not due to human scapegoat #1. It's too easy (and not very helpful to anyone looking to win elections) to continue with the drivel of the "nader was a spoiler" narrative.

That a (I'm guessing here) democrat would compare nader to nixon is to me perfectly indicative of how off course the nader story has steered.
