Quote of the Day — Dick Morris

The danger Wright presents is obvious enough. Wright has come to epitomize everything white Americans fear in an African-American public figure, secular or clerical. He is anti-white, anti-American, and avidly embraces and propagates all manner of bizarre conspiracy theories.

[...]

But if Wright has come to be the poster child for what America fears in a black public figure, he gives Obama an opportunity to be the opposite. By playing off Wright, by attacking his views in depth and detail, Obama can define himself as the un-Wright, reassuring Americans and carving out his identity in opposition to the reverend’s rantings. —Dick Morris

Blacks and Conspriacy Theories

Blacks and conspiracy theories. Jeremiah Wright may be preaching to the choir. (I’d sure like to see a comparison with White’s beliefs in conspiracy theories, though. Truthers, anyone?)

Hat tip: Roger.

Quote of Day — Andrew Sullivan

I guess I am late to the party, am I not? I didn’t watch Jeremiah Wright’s National Press Club performance live this morning, as every other blogger seemed to. Wright is not on the ticket of any major party, he is not Barack Obama, and I’m not going to be baited into making this campaign about him, or the boomer cultural racial obsessions that so many want this vital election to be about.

But then I actually read what he said. —Andrew Sullivan

There’s Still Time to Register for the Oregon Primary

Oregon’s primary isn’t until May 20, long after when I thought the primaries would be decided. Looks like I was wrong.

If you want to vote for who should be the next president (or who shouldn’t be), you still have time to register. For first-time registrations in Oregon and changing party affiliations, the deadline is 21 days before the election.

Register now!

Quote of the Day — Rick Turoczy

And that’s when it hit me: some people—arguably the majority of the human race—form “social networks” in an entirely different way than the infinitesimal segment of us Web 2.0-focused geeks do. In real life, it seems, these social networks are actually formed in person.

No, I’m serious. —Rick Turoczy
