If Obama wins he will have domestic problems for about 2-3 years but internationally he’s taken seriously by foriegn leaders and even our enemies and that should buy him some time to bridge the cultural and domestic areas where there will be racial animus between working class blacks and whites (and merging Hispanics). And a President makes his bones in foriegn policy,if he/she is a strong office holder politically, the markets and other countries will see the U.S. as economic and socially stable for investments which means jobs and investment in turnuse his/her bully pulpit to enact policies that will strengthen the country.

Since 2001, the United States has continued the GOP policy of advance military conquest and spending and free-market de-regulation with politcal culture wars on race, gender, sex, and religion and now the chickens have come home to roost. you have a Governor who reminds me of Rossanne Barr and White Trash insanity debating a seasoned Senator who if he attacks and tells her that she will not be taken seriously by world leaders if she inherits the Presidency if Mc Cain dies in office the GOP wins because that’s how they rose to power on the resentments of white ethnics, racists and blue collar workers.
Palin is in a win-win situation her folks, If Gwen Ifill goes after her she will be accused of liberal bias and “hating whitey” (i.e. Obama supporter) if he does decently she will be hailed as “knocking it out the park”. What should be talked about is that if the GOP wins, there won’t riots in black neighborhoods but now we have seen the outright hatred of White America and all those young people of all races who registred people to vote and were inspired by Obama and his campaign how will they feel about America?

I frankly believed that Racial Reconcilation died after King and Bobby Kennedy died in 1968 and the Buckley- Goldwater-Southern alliance gained power in American politics.

They’re only a heartbeat away from runnin this thing.

I say go for the throat.
