Wright forced Obama’s hand, not the establishment and media. The media has helped Obama throughout his campaign (being an Obama supporter I know this) Wright made comments that offend potential voters that Obama needs. Personally I don’t think his Pastor’s views should be considered his as I wouldn’t want my friends views thought of as mine, but people of all colors are trained to think in absolutes.

Which goes to Pastor Byrds sign. I don’t think it’s racist and believe the moron when he says that he’s trying to say since their names are similar maybe Obama is Islamic/muslim. It’s not because their both not white, it’s just that he’s ignorant for damn sure. Why isn’t this more of a big deal, why not on the scale of Reverend Wright? Because Pastor Byrd isn’t John Mccain, Hiliary Clinton (pick a white candidate and place name here) pastor. Automatically playing the race card, seems like another absolute for people to buy into. Weither it was done because of racism I can’t say, I’m not bold enough to visit peoples intentions, but I’ll take his word for it because, well doesn’t make him look any better being religiously intolerant.

Can you please site the Cleveland paper and article, I’m curious to read it myself.

Obama leads in popular vote and will not be beaten in States won, I think the average democrat or independent voter is fine with well anything about him. If he doesn’t win will it be because he’s black? I don’t know, again I don’t think in absolutes, I prefer an open mind to all events.

Also living in Arizona I’m wondering where this highway is being built. I’ve seen nothing on the news or in the papers, even our underground papers. Please site your source and location of where this has started as I would like to drive by and visit the area and shake my head at it. Plus I think someone like Arizona’s Governor Janet Napolitano (who is in the running for Vice President inside sources in the Democrat party here tell me Obama and her have discussed it) would be more to blame then someone like John Mccain, but I guess it’s too hard to not try and put a cheapshot on Mccain is it?

Otherwords I wish the new scene venue luck and look forward to reading the articles you sited.
