		<description>Obama maybe has one--a teeny, tiny one. Blago, on the other hand, has three--biggies, too.</description>

		<description>You are righteously correct, soldier. Burris is a star next to Caroline. Caroline is an embarrassment to professional women everywhere. It&#039;s very sad because now that she opened her mouth, her mystique is gone forever. But Burris can do this job and it is absolutely true that, given the percentages, an AA should take that job. I would bristle if I didn&#039;t think he was qualified but he is at least as qualified as anybody else they could come up with and far more qualified than Caroline, who is getting the royal treatment from the Kennedy clan in the senate. It&#039;s just not fair.</description>

		<description>Wonderful article Uppity!  This seriously bothers me because although I know what is going down with the Governor, Burris in my opinion is qualified.  Plus, there was a good point made.  That seat will be forever tarnished to a certain degree.  Let him hold it until 2010 to remove the taint and then let someone come in and run.  I think he stated he won&#039;t be running.

But what bothers me is Senator Reid.  I am not throwing out the *race card* but I can understand the concept of wanting a black person in the seat considering there will be zero in the U.S Senate.  Plus, look at the ratio of females, hell minorities period and it does not look good.

But the source of my issues actually lies with the fact that Senator Reid can call Gov Patterson to appoint Caroline Kennedy to a Senate seat when she can barely construct a sentence. Over 130 &quot;you knows&quot; in a interview? Come on.  That is what is bothering me.  He will go to bat for her, hell even Lieberman, but not Burris who is more than qualified?

Women and minorities are about to become endangered species in our government.  This entire election has been a joke where the Dems want the most unqualified for positions by overlooking them and putting those they can manage in positions.

Burris is a threat to Obama.  He has something Obama had to manufacture.  Just watch.  The Dems made a huge mistake.  Because if Black dem leaders start closing ranks to back Burris they are going to be in trouble.  Obama is going to lose the black vote or it wont be as strong as it was.  He came out against Burris.  Blogojevich &amp; Burris both have AA support.  Obama had to *manufacture* it.

If they appoint Caroline Kennedy and not him or if they deny it there is going to be a blowback.  People overestimated the AA support for Obama.  But researching Burris, his achievements, and his ability to come back to his community afterwards is important.

Hell they are even closing ranks on the AA message boards about this since Obama came out with his statement on Burris.  Now that they realize that under Obama qualified blacks and qualified women, military and the LBJ community are all  going up under the closest bus.  I thought when this day came I would be screaming *told ya so*, with a smile.  But  it hurts.  We have not came a long way and we never will until we all have equal representation.  Now, it&#039;s not about Burris, it&#039;s about the fact that Senator Reid and company have buried the final nail with Obama wielding the hammer.</description>

		<description>Uppity Woman, at 4:40 PM  &quot;I ha&quot;e to say this but this was a brilliant move on Blago’s part.&quot;

It took me so damn long to retype my illegible comments that you beat me to it, UW.

This guy is strictly stockyards, but he is not lacking in spite and guile.

Now, I do not like popcorn (it squeaks in my teeth and,besdies, it isn&#039;t chocolate), but I&#039;ll take the family size tub for this one.</description>
