Right on Harvey, that ad underscores the fact that real racism still remains in our society, and people like Helms and others continue to make race an issue! Honesty, ability, compassion and the desire to make this country a better one, has no color! The fact that many caucasions support Obama is a real FACT! Americans want CHANGE, and most dont care the color of the individual who can delivder it! My father was a college basketbsll coach, my mother an educator, I went to Catholic school, my freinds were many colors,many religions! When i went to public school, I (learned) about racism, it was tought by the teachers and the school system, what a shame and disgrace! Ads such as these have been placed by republicans for a long time, this presidential election will challenge the democratic party, its morals,ethics and moral conscience, lest they use the same old boy technics of republican candidates! RIGHT ON HARVEY!

Why is/was Harvey Gantt suprised? By 1990, Jesse had been bringing the pork home to NC for well over a decade, and the then rual majority could hide behind the voting booth curtain, if not a hood with eye holes.

However, in 2008 the majority of the campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination might as well have been one big "black/female hands" ad.

Issues? Ideas? Experience? Nah, this is the chance to elect someone other than a white male. Edwards and Ron Paul say we need a change and the media ignored them. Obama and Clinton later say we need change and they get several 24 hour news cycles as leaders with new ideas.

What will Barak and Hillary talk about tommorow? Listen to John Edwards today, if you can.
