Sen. Lie...erman

So I subscribed to a Michael Moore film a little while back and now I get all of this damn liberal stuff.hahaha.But seriously, is Lieberman off his rocker. This off course is NOT a good example of media functioning at its most non-bias...

Economy trumps race

This LA times oped shows some of the exit polls comparing Kerry results with Obama, saying that Obama should have done better in these areas because of his campaign but didn't most likely because he's black. Interesting comparison data...

Mutt like me....

Well, here we go. Now that he is president, everything, Obama says with any racial undertones will be over examined and especially over reported. Every channel seemed to report much more about his remark about being a "mutt like me" than any other newsworthy pieces of his first address.

This is an interesting lil scoop on something I had brought up in class about the Obamas being the new Huxtables...this NYT article suggests a "Huxtable effect" which might be part of the reason why the have been Obamas embraced by Americans, possibly because many of the millions who watched the Cosby Show are now of voting age. Because of their exposure to the phenomenom that the show created, these people were completely comfortable electing a black president. The Obamas are accepted like the Cosbys, "an American family who happen to be African-American".

The Racial effect that WASN'T

This comprehensive NYT article"For Pollsters, the Racial effect that Wasn't" goes into great detail discussing how race did/did not affect the actual outcome. There are some interesting commentary on race is seen through both Obama supporters and McCain supporters.

I was able to hold it together through this amazing speech but to see Obama and Biden's families together is when I couldn't hold it in any longer. "This", I thought,"Is what America really looks like" What an amazing moment in history we were privileged to be part of!
