California Legislators Endorse Obama []

9/13/2007 4:20:47 PM The California Legislative Black Caucus endorsed Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois for president on Thursday, calling him "the only candidate that can unite people to get things done."

"It is imperative that we choose the candidate who is committed to addressing the disparity gaps that exist in our communities," Assemblywoman Karen Bass, the Los Angeles Democrat who serves as vice chairwoman of the eight-member caucus, is quoted by the Associated Press as saying.

"We believe that Sen. Obama is that person, and we will work together to galvanize the black community to be part of the political process by getting involved in it," she said.

Obama has also received support from L. Douglas Wilder, who in 1989 became the nation's first elected black governor.

Wilder, now the mayor of Richmond, said in a recent interview with The Politico that he doesn't think Obama “would be an easy target for the Republicans” and he could additionally loosen the Republican Party's grip on the South.

7. Ethel has edited the OP.
Before it was just a shy sloppy leading directly from talking about the CA black caucus to one line about being supported by Wilder.

4. "just" the Black Caucus (you mispelled Black).....??
That's actually even more significant.

Some White folks in California must have completely forgotten to tell these Black Caucus members about John Edwards, it would seem. Oops!

10. You just have to add your anti -Edwards spin to every post! This was not anti Obama.
And trying to add significance to a typo is beneath you, or maybe it isn't? What does it mean that it is spelled correctly in the body of the message? Surely it indicates something! :sarcasm:

14. Hey, it is done to me constantly......
Anytime I post about Edwards, the thread turns into a Clarkie/Clark bashing fest by Edwardians!

Considering how much scorn is thrown at me by Edwards supporters, I figured that since I can't beat the tag teams that attack me with personal insults and ad homonyms, I might as well adopt their tactics.

Now you know how it feels a teeny bit....hey? :hi:
