1. It's way too early
2. Polls? Get it?

Still, those who are interested (http://www.nysun.com/article/56786):
It is a paradox of the 2008 presidential race. By a wide margin, several polls show, voters want a Democrat to win — yet when offered head-to-head contests of leading announced candidates, many switch allegiance to the Republican.


In a Los Angeles Times-Bloomberg poll conducted earlier this month, this dynamic was most clearly evident with Senator Clinton.
10% margins too when it was Hillary vs. Rudy.

I also loved this comment to the piece:

I am an traditionally African American Democract, If Hillary wins as the Democractic candidate I would not vote for her. I would rarther see a republican win over her. I am sick of the Bush-Bush and Clinton-Clinton eras. She is not for African Americans as she claims. Barack Obama is my choice for president, he is more likeable, and he is the one that will get the Country back on the right track.

Also, reading the USA Today this morning, it stated that Clinton has double digits in the poll over Obama, that okay, because poll are not accurate. In 2004, The polls had John Kerry leading all the way until election night, but who won? BUSH . I do not get hyped us over polls, just image all of the people that are not surveyed in these polls. Whether we like it or not, Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States of America.

I wonder how Joyce has managed to reach those marvelous conclusions about Obama?

Wait... I already know...

Common denominator, really. She doesn't hide it. Hillary = white, can't be better for me than Obama = black+me=black

Sure, and it illustrates the problem with race relations in today's society. In order to bring racial minorities up to social standards other races enjoy, they must stop thinking on an exclusionary level. This only happens from within, and why today's black "leaders" do their followers such a disservice.

Prejudice isn't a one-way street. This lady voting her race is no better than a white guy refusing to vote a black into office simply because he's black. Yet I believe this type of mindset is much more severe in the minority sector than it is in white society - at least in terms of social percentages.

Overall the public likes the Democratic party better than the Republican right now. They are mad at the Republicans. But they like the Republican candidates better than the Democratic ones!

Whether you are or a Republican or Democratic candidate the one thing you don't want to directly or indirectly be associated with is George Bush.
