Kerry's endorsement

Can Kerry's endorsement help? Is he trying to position himself for a VP role. He probably needs someone older to run with him.

Obama is down with JayZ and Kanye

Obama has apparently met with two important figures in hip hop music. I think he has taken a far different approach than many of the other African Americans in politics. Jesse Jackson and Mr Sharpton came from the church and begun their campaign shrouded in blackness. Many of them built their campaign momentum at activities targeting other African Americans.

This can sometime scare other groups away especially the conservatives. Barack has not done that. He has not even targeted us. The fact that he met with JayZ and Kanye to target youth may mean that is going to start spending some time in the churches because the black evangelicals is where the mature votes come from. He has had success without relying on black people. There is chance that he may start doing some damage once he get into areas of higher black populace. I think he can flank the rest of the candidates like William Wallace did in Braveheart. That was the best flank demonstration in war based theatrical history.

African Americans can give him a boost because they are currently splitting the vote 50/50 between he and Hillary. We like the Clintons because they have demonstrated their concern for the community via Bill's policies. Obama is not the clear cut leader in the African American community. Not yet anyway.

Al Gore still makes the best running mate even though Mr. Kerry just cosigned.

"I've met with Jay-Z; I've met with Kanye. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking (is massive)," Obama told Jeff Johnson during BET's political special What's In It For Us?.

I Got a Poll that you can Survey

Hillary's teary eyed moment did not spell doom for the Clinton campaign. This makes for a more spicy future in terms of the election. It would have been boring if Obama were to run away with such as the polls were stating. Polls and surveys are interesting and entertaining, but never accurate when dealing with humans. People, unlike damn near everything else, can change their mind. In politics, the polls can only be 50% accurate because something could happen between the poll and the actual vote which may cause the voter to go the other way. A brilliant man once said this about data and surveys, "Polls and Surveys are like a bikini, what they reveal is interesting, but what they cover up is vital". Meaning that data can be used to create any story, even when the story is not the truth.

Barack and Gore

That is a good ticket right there. Barack Obama for President and Al Gore as his Vice President! Barack Obama should see if Al Gore is down for a encore performance as VP. They would make the best combination.

Why Iowa?

There is no tangible reason why Iowa is important. Iowa gets so much attention because it is the first primary of many. I personally would not think that makes a big deal but politics ride on the bandwagon.
Hillary is must weather the storm and not do a Howard Dean.
