Is it just me or am I seeing more mathematics in this election. My mom would always say that we could never beat our counterpart in the number and words game because they make up the numbers, words and the rules. She would say that they make the rules, break the rules and suspend the rules at the same time.

After my Wiz post and the announcement of Palin as the Republican Candidate, I became aware of the idea the obvious "get Hilary votes" trick. Later it occured to me that it became more of an election, once again, between the two minorities in government, Obama and Palin.

As it occurs to me McCain and Biden cancels one another out leaving us back at Obama vs. Palin (Hilary). As I heard at a resturant in Jersey City, while eating with a friend, a young latin girl asked one of her friend who said he would vote for Obama in the primary , "You mean you would vote for a Black over a woman?" Once again race is injected into the Campaign and it is not as subtle as one may believe.

Maybe I am wrong in my views. Therefore, I am open to the possibility of changing my views. Please let me know what you think.

At this point when I see Country First (McCain's running slogan) and the American flag it reminds me of stories of the Civil War and Civil Rights movement. It sounds as if they are saying "save our country from this nigger" and the flag takes on a different connotation as if it were a Confederate flag.

It has always been about race! It will continue to be about race. You have predominatly black organizations supporting a black candidate. You have people saying that because he's black I'm going to support black etc etc...

I am not sure whether I will continue to support Obama. I have come into some views that are not aligning with the christian lifestyle and he is calling himself a Christian. I need to dig a lil more into this...

Pls. do not allow his "Christian Lifestyle" get in the way of making a real difference in this election. Your vote, either way, will make a difference, but don't be like those Christians that are only Christians when they have someone to beat on or feel empowered to belittle someone because they have "something on them."
