Blitzer just said Obama will be watching Tennessee very closely

[ecstatic]

to see if the South is ready to elect a black Democrat because Obama has presidential aspirations for 2008... Is this true, or is Blitzer just talking out of his ass again?

1. I am pretty certain that Blitzer didn't get this from Obama and

I am quite certain that Leslie does not have a poll in the field.

2. Because all those light-skinned African American men are the same, right?

NGU.

4. CNN loves Obama. They are always plugging him. Not sure why but

I guess it's just for intrique. :shrug: Or, Obama has a good "PR" person putting his name out there.

3. Good angle Wolfie, you thought of that all yourself?

what a media whore.

5. James Carville said it on Larry King Live last week

6. My vote is it is his ass talking. Obama is way more sophisticated than

that. Whether Tennessee elects Ford or not will have little impact on 2008 or 2012 or 2016 (most likely)

7. Frankly I don't see why he has to work so hard to talk about race

Its almost like a warning shot to the red necks.

Can't we just get professional coverage without the reporter trying to make news????

It was so awkward the way he FORCED Obama's name into the discussion.
