I just read an article on the Politico blog that I simply do not like.

Race (or gender) has no place in politics; to even bring it up incites.

If I read this blog post right, this dialog appears to be started anew by the media, and the Obama campaign is parsing how to use it to their advantage.

Black, white, male, female, the discussion must be about policies, and and leadership – most especially what the candidate has DONE to “walk their talk”.  Say what you will about Sarah Palin; Obama has done almost NOTHING.  NOTHING at all – could be argued (relative to the opportunities he’s had in the Illinois legislature and US Senate) to indicate what he SAYS he wants to do is what he will do as President.

This to me, appears to be a desperate tactic if used and is just plain wrong.

Talk about your vision and tell us what you’ve done in the past to cause us to believe in that vision, Barry.  McCain has a history or standing between the two parties doing what he believes is the right thing for America.

And remembering your history at this time is useful. Martin Luther King was in fact a Republican.

COUNTRY FIRST
