    Now is the time the Black superdelegates who are supporting Clinton are leading us to defeat.
    Are the Clintons still telling major donors that they're taking this all the way to the convention?

    First off, I don't recall them ever admitting (until now) that they had any intention of taking this to the convention. Secondly, they're still saying that, even now when most commentators in the media are convinced Hillary will drop out in the next week or two. That they won't drop out, that they're planning internally on taking this all the way to the convention, is what we hear the Clintons just told their major donors on a conference call in the past few days. If this is her graceful exit, why does it sound an awful lot like a detailed plan for a civil war? I'll say it again - Dean, Reid and Pelosi had better have a plan to end this thing next week, or there will be civil war in the party, and Hillary won't be the only one leading it.

    Get the broom out!


    You can start with the Mama's boy Kendrick Meek here in Florida, whose mother was the representative for our area, and only announced her retirement a day before the deadline for filing as a candidate. Since she was such a formidable candidate nobody else had challenged her, but guess who was able to meet the deadline just in time -- her baby boy Kendrick.



    Using his mothers drawers he has weaseled his way to voting on issues harmful to his own constituents. You might call him a Black Georgie Bush.



    Get to sweeping!!!!!!

    It's the Clintonesque mindset at work...which is why Bill was indeed out first black president, as he embodied everything bad about black leadership style. Really? Check out every black mega church pastor...

    I am very grateful for your contribution to this blog. I've only been reading political blogs for 4 months so it's nice to be able to look at an easily digestible report than pouring through voting records. I didn't see Obama on the 2008 report card - or did I miss something? I also noted Barbara Lee still in the top percentile at least! I remember when she voted against the war and I think was the only Congressional level official to do so. I also noticed Tubbs-Jones' low score. I believe her time has been spent on other things lately.

    CPL,


    I'll hit you offline if need be, but I'd like to get your take and some info on Rep. Bobby Scott.

    Well, I advocate voting them OUT, since every last one of them has been so condescending and nasty about Obama and anyone who does not love their patron saints, the tag teaming race baiting Clinton's. And, the saddest thing of all is they have no clue as to how to speak when they go off about it, how they keep getting elected is amazing, and, maybe this will open the eyes of their constituents as to how inept they are as legislators.
