this electoral process, it is no mystery, and will continue as long as
the press enables the campaigns that are doing it and the poll numbers
justify it by showing an effect on the obama candidacy.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda, it sounds to me like Obama’s candidacy, at least its initial meaning to the populace, especially youth, is screwed. The reaction to today’s press conference–it’s like watching a train wreck. This is the kind of disillusion that leads me to wonder, if only the Democrats could draft Elizabeth Edwards.</p> Love him, hate him, Reverend Wright is not now going to quietly into the night.

How people interpret his speech, gestures were in context of social norms. So i don’t know why you are pontificating about people who conduct research just because you feel you are beyond it. My research is historical and funny but it still applies to how we interact with each other and I and others willcontinue to research in these areas so as to try to understand our fellow man and maybe enlighten some folks along the way. So you will excuse me that I don’t give a damn what you think.</p> We weren’t discussing this simply in terms of only the political.
