The broadcast media said the contest was between a woman, an African American (or did they say black?), and the oldest candidate, Senator John McCain.

Senator Obama is not African American or black; he’s multiracial.

That is what makes Edward Kennedy’s sermon so great.

“With Barack Obama we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group, and straight against gay,” Kennedy said.”–Kennedy endorsement of Obama

How so Senator? You just gendered against gender the good old fashion way, Kennedy en masse.

Senator John McCain was born on 29 August 1936. He is 71 years old.

Congressman Ron Paul was born on August 20, 1935. He is 72 years old.

You do the math.

Hillary Clinton is a woman. Hurrah! They got that one right! Still there she’s not a first unless you are talking about shades of grey. How Notan of you!

–Shirley Chisholm, the black woman who ran for president in 1972, argued in effect that there were more sexists than racists in America. –Who is more electable?
