I'm sorry, but to think this is a negative for Obama's Presidential bid is one of the stupidest opinions I have ever read. What could be a better way to get in favor with the middle than Jesse Jackson disagreeing vehemently with Obama's message? What is going on in those Conservative heads? It's not making any tactical sense. If Fox wanted to do something to hurt OBAMA's chances to be president, then they should have released something that makes him seem to be moving left. This highlights OBAMA's call for personal responsibility in the Black Community(that's a shift to the middle.) To highlight this is not exactly helpful to the Republican candidate.

This another valid way of looking at it.
I just would not want to keep a feud with Jackson.
I think you are probably correct thinking itmight get him votes in the middle.
But you dont want to lose many of the large numbers of
religious black communities. Not that this would.

I think overall its probably a blip on the radar when November comes.

Actually, I think OBAMA needs to take the opportunity to further highlight any philosophical differences between him and Jackson. He needs to get himself as far away as possible from the Black-on-White racist views of Jackson etc. He needs to try to get the conservative democrats that voted against him in the primaries in areas like West Virginia. That might be impossible, but this is the best way to do that.

This thread is getting very strange.

There are too many campaign managers in here.

I think Jesse's comment presupposes one thing...






















that Obama




























has


























balls in the first place...

May not know what the heck we are talking about,
but its amusing and interesting. America speaks. One big democratic
society even on a horsey board. Very healthy, dontcha think?

Al Gore's invention, the internet (did I get another?), allowing
for greater information exchange. The founding fathers would
be tickled to death? no?
