What Ferraro meant could have been said, more thoughfully, and without the consequence of everyone lining up to jump down her throat. That, however, is what happens without a good wordsmith to help out.

Let's pose a few thoughts...

Obama wrote a good book..
Kipling, Vonnegut, Albee, and thousands of others have done so as well

Obama has character and charm...
I like Paul Newman's better, in fact I like all of his characters better, especially Cool Hand Luke, "Just cos it's yo job, boss, don't make it right "

Obama.......
Well, that's about it,
As far as being a "statesman", he hasn't done much for Illinois, except to increase polution, deal with smarm for a big house, and get investigated by the IRS for his contributions from the United Christians....for starters.

His political resume is squat compared to Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, Edwards, Biden, Gore, Clinton and the majority of the other candidates as well as many other democrats in general.

Ferraro said he is "Lucky" but failed to see and point out that luck has nothing to do with Obama.

Obama has carefully orchesrated his campaign and left nothing to luck, or chance.

If you look back, take a close look, a meticulously well planned and constructed campaign has been in the works years prior to his book. Luck?

It would be dumb luck if his followers were to recognize, at this point, the manipulative architecture of his campaign, but that will come in time. Obama has dimished the power of luck with careful mechanical precision and steadfast momemtum. The illusion always seems real, but if you look behind the curtain, the wizard is a very hungry man, and this isn't OZ.

I remember roughly 30 years ago in film class, watching "The Blob" (Steve McQueen), thinking what a comical parody and perfect venue for satire. I look at Obama pretty much the same way now.

Most everyone knew he would take Mississippi, that was a given, though I had my "hopes". Fine, it's a word I'll probably never use without quotes or with a straight face again, but if Mississippi keeps the race going, that is cool, we need to make it stretch, and keep the repos on their toes.

What is not cool is the irrate, head biting hounds of Obama demanding Ferraro step down as a "Fundraiser?", umm yeah...she could do alot of damage, ooooooh.

Jimmeny Crickets, Ms. Rice, at least we didn't have her talking to the foreign press for interviews, and may I suggest a shorter leash, with a lovely studded collar?

Keep your hope
I'll keep it real

Thank God we do noto have to worry because senator Obama, is bi-raial and speak to the issues of these people who hillary is trying her best to get not to vote for him.

All he have to do is tell his story of how he was raised by people who look just like them, hillaryand geraldine.

Why are so so worried.

He is Bi-racial.

So with all those strikes against him....

Why is he still in the lead? My best guess is that maybe experience is a positive attribute but not always the best candidate.

Geraldine made a statement without thinking, but it's probably something that alot of folks within our beloved part are thinking but not saying.
It fine that he is...

I don't think in the end he'll win, but it's fine if he does. I don't think he is the best choice, but anything is better than a repo
  
hello?

this post wasn't about race, it was about his qualifications, or lack there of, and so was her comment, when you think about it.

The people that are emphasizing race the most are not Clintons camp, that much is for sure.
