I disagree with Hillary’s assertion that her being the first woman to become president is a sea change. If it were some other woman, perhaps.

Hillary, to me, represents the status quo.

Barack does NOT have to defend or assuage the Jewish community. I am sorry. This line of questioning is bullshit. Why do black leaders have to field this question? I don’t see them

I don’t see anyone defending themselves because Senator Byrd supports them, given his former involvement with the KKK.

I don’t see anyone defending their marital fidelity when Newt Gingrich supports them.

I do think that race matters somewhat in this race but it isn’t the preeminent issue that some media outlets will have you believe. It’s kind of the low-hanging fruit of this campaign.

Senator Obama has won states with very few blacks. Senator Obama has won states with lots of blacks. I think Ohio is just kind of backwards and they are buying into the Hillary Kool-Aid…but that’s changing.

Senator Obama gave the same answer of Senator Clinton on NAFTA but he sounded relaxed and mellow…Senator Clinton did not.

Clinton bristles a bit at being asked the question first. Well, she’s to the left (where she’s sitting) and she’s first in alphabetical order so of course she’s getting questions first.

Obama makes the connection to fair trade and consumer protections.
