- Boys of Summer by Daniel Flynn, City Journal
  Posted by HansGruen
  Backing a major-party candidate for president would have been anathema to Michael Klonsky 40 summers ago, when the organization he led, Students for a Democratic Society, urged young people to spurn elections. "By '68, our line was 'Vote in the Streets,'" Klonsky told me last spring. "We thought we had to fight with Eugene McCarthy and those people." In August 1968, protesters clashed with police outside the Democratic Party's national convention in Chicago-but far from being political innocents who took to the streets to protest Vietnam War hawks' capture of the Democratic presidential nomination, many of them never supported antiwar candidates McCarthy and Robert Kennedy. ...

- Race, class and the politics of the Obama campaign
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The widely publicized speech Tuesday by Barack Obama on race relations in the United States was another exercise in walking the political tightrope for the Democratic candidate in his closely contested struggle with Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination.

- God-talk in the presidential election (or why evangelicals are voting for Barack)
  Posted by udamnskippy from Scholarsandrogues
  Evangelicals are not fundamentalists; many would resist the idea that they want to impose their worldviews on others. Many are now struggling to figure out how to live in a religiously and culturally plural culture, and Obama’s message not only resonates with their sense of integrity, but it also appeals to their desire to find ways to live together less divisively. I don’t think Barack has a prayer with the fundamentalists. But I think he’s definitely striking a chord among evangelicals.

We can’t trust this woman. She’ll say anything and do anything to get the office. She has no soul . She has no connection to the progressive agenda. She wants to be president…and that’s it.

We don’t need anymore of this.It’s time for some new blood and new ideas.

Rolling Stone : Was the 2004 Election Stolen?
It's really about time someone with some substantial power and a name stood up and said what we've all known for quite some time.
