6. The implication being.....?

7. The implication is that we have a very viable African-American candidate

and that it would be surprising if Jesse Jackson, as a longtime advocate for African-American rights didn't support him - all the more because I don't believe that Jesse Jackson is a known supporter of any of the other candidates.

3. As long as there's a TV camera around that is. n/t

4. I gotta agree with Jackson...

my first instinct was toward Kucinich, but Obama's nearly as good on the issues, and probably a better candidate from a purely political standpoint (i.e. the dreaded E word, electability)

On my own blog, I've officially hopped on the Obama bus:

I reserve the right to change my opinion of course, but at this point, I think Barack's the man.

5. The difference between Kucinich and Obama aren't that big...
