No matter what I may think about Obama's politics, it is great that an African-American is on a ticket. It is great that we spend so little time talking about his race and so much time talking about what he has done and what he wants to do.

Yes, I disagree with what Obama wants to do and some things that have gone on in his past, but that does not change the fact that he is the first African-American to be on a major party ticket, and I think that's ultimately good for America.; August 29, 2008 at 10:30 AM

I just thought that we shouldn't get too carried away with 30 seconds of planned commercial stagecraft.; August 29, 2008 at 11:00 AM
