An African American EARNING the nomination would have been historic - THIS was a JOKE and an insult to people like Condi Rice or Colin Powell who in my view who have the experience to be the president. Barak Obama is the Democratic party's version of Clarence Thomas. Hopefully, it is not a done deal with Obama as it is with Thomas. Basically, I dont think either party offers us a suitable candidate. I am not too thrilled about the VP choices either. God help us all if Americans either elect a guy that equates running a political campaign to running a state government or alternatively a soldier who has forgotten how to fight. McCain should have never let himself be bullied by the right. I want to see a Latino reach the presidency , hopefully a Mexican American which is what I am.

Then again I could be wrong if you are into folly. Just think 45 minutes of him struggling to read a teleprompter with size 60 font scrolling a speech he couldn't plegarize. The saddest day in America is that you still believe that your issues are markedly different from other minorities in our country. Or think of it this way at least you lived to see a minority (aka Obama) accept the nomination--My Great-Grandfather and his son, my Grandfather, Choctow Indians didn't.

First, the Democrats stripped Michigan and Florida of their votes, then they gave them half- let that demoralize half of the Democrats and then they gave ALL the votes back but CUT the roll call short in case it would change the outcome. Barak Obama with his 120 days of US Senate Service accepted the nomination of the set up known as the Democratic convention. What a sad day for America. My hope is that someday a Latino/Latina will actually EARN their spot on the top of the Presidential ticket in a major party without AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. I firmly believe that I will see it in my lifetime and I hope that I will agree with them so I can happily support them with my vote. I do not let race influence my choice in politics.

Beautiful Set and Superior Broadway Act that went along with it. How is it he can't speak without a teleprompter but did such a FABULOUS Speech Thursday night? Heath Ledger would've been proud of that performance, from one Joker to another. BRAVO!! Beautiful Set and Superior Broadway Act that went along with it.

I didn’t think there were enough American citizens with the intelligence to see beyond skin color, especially in those red states, and those Bible belt states. This says a lot about the real need for real political change. The American taxpayer is apparently tired of being fleeced by the White House, Congress, and their backdoor partners in crime…the Fortune 500. Network television and all their efforts to dramatize and sensationalize the lies and propaganda spewed by all those paid spin doctors couldn’t stop the Obama express.
