Well, here we go, media: Obama's campaign all about race...
I'm already tired of this, and we're just getting started, tomorrow they'll have an article entitled "H. Clinton's Appeal To Women An Open Question"...:argh:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/24/AR2007012402032.html

Looking around at the overwhelmingly white audience that was applauding Sen. Barack Obama's luncheon speech on Iraq at a downtown hotel recently, the Rev. B. Herbert Martin expressed both satisfaction and concern.

Martin, who said he was the only black person in the crowd, was thrilled that Obama, the only African American in the Senate, could engender such enthusiasm from a white audience because it offered further proof that the Illinois Democrat would be a formidable presidential candidate. But Martin also worried that in order to run successfully Obama would have to become a different kind of politician than the one who earned the trust of voters on Chicago's mostly black South Side as a state legislator before he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004

1. Media has decided Hillary shall be the nominee. Is Obama scaring them

Power to the people.

2. Yes it gets mentioned
several times a day on one channel or another. I too am sick of it. I did hear some are wondering since Opera is backing him fully as to what side he would really be on. She is a repuke.
