A black bourgeois perspective on U.S. politics
I know yall like the first person reports from the field, and while I didn’t put this together, I though you’d dig it. It’s made by Olivia Ma who is working for YouTube along with C-SPAN, traveling through PA talking to voters about their issues.

Slightly off topic..GQ interview with Bill Richardson. Richardson, sheds more light on the difficulty in deciding who to endorse, and his previous relationship with the Clinton's...very interesting!
Before you made the decision, were there people whose advice you were asking?
Well, my immediate staff. People that I relied on in my campaign—my campaign manager, my TV [person], they were all for Obama. But they knew how tough it was for me to do that. My wife wanted me to stay neutral.
Really?
And I listen to her a lot. And that was a factor.
Would you do it any differently? Was there something the other side did to piss you off?
No.
Was there anything more to it?
Well, a couple of times they pissed me off, yeah. I mean, there were a couple of surrogates that said, "You owe him" and "You're being dishonorable by not endorsing." I said, "Well, how do you figure that?" I served him well. I was somebody before I was in the cabinet; I was rescuing hostages and bringing peace before. He gave me two great opportunities. I was loyal to him during Lewinsky. You know, when he needed friends, I was there. I've always been there for him. I helped him get elected in '92. I was elected governor without him. You know, I'm Bill Richardson.
