I think we all need a reality check. No one likes to accept truth and reality, but we all need to take a step back and examine what is happening in this very contentious Primary race. This is not coming down to who is the best candidate or more important what is the "Relative Party Agenda or Platform", but what Democrat can collect the most African American Vote vs Latino Vote. This will not bode the party well in the general election. If our people voted as a solid block in lockstep for Obama, he couldn't win. I'm so proud to see our people take such an interest in the process, but don't get caught up in the hype. This is still America, and contrary to popular belief its not primarily comprised of our community. Why do you think the GOP has not and will not try to solicit the Black Vote? We are making ourselves to predictable, and selling ourselves short. I play poker on a regular basis, and I can spot a shill a million miles away. Vote by all means ,but make sure we don't waste a vote on an emotion. I'm just an old man, but I didn't get to be old playing the ackling fool, or holding my head in the sand. Sometimes we talk a little to much at the wrong times in front of the wrong people... So in our euphoria,lets keep our intentions, lets just say "PRESSLESS"...
