Marion, I am a student of history. I prefer ancient history to the much much more modern history but I have had a day or two in class in this area (no not high school).

I would absoulty love to hear the logic behind your argument that african americans have had it harder than any other subgroup of our population. Really, I want to hear it. Please follow the “motto” of the site and bring me some facts, not “well everyone knows it sucks to be black….” or any such crap.

As for the original posing of McCain V Obama,,,,, I dont know. I am a regestered repub, but have never once in my life voted for Bush. Man is a moron, and I called it on day 1. Weird as it may be, I really can see myself voting for either canadate.I guess what I want to know is who the VP’s will be. I think this is a really big deal not because the VP’s mean much, but because I think it will highlight what the presidental canadates intend to stress. The choice of VP will give us a great insight into what the canadates view as their strenghts (and weaknesses), and what is really important to them.
