David Gergen just blew my mind!

David Gergen just said that the elections aren't over, even though all the polls are saying it was a homerun...

"It's not over because Obama is Black."

When did pundents get so truthful and blunt?

It is possible that I've forgotten about the race issue?

Yes, it was mosty shocked that he said it, but I think I was more shocked that I had forgot that he was black--does that make sense? Not that I forgot the color of his skin (I spend way to much time looking at that man and his beautiful skin--but that's for another time! hahaha!) But that he was OMG!BLACK!! And I know that's a luxury that I have that many don't. But I think it stopped being about race for me personally, when my BIL, who was a RAVING Republican--he IS the posterchild for Joe Six-Pack--and a borderline rascist, called me up during the primaries all excited because he was voting for Obama... he just LIKED the guy and liked what he had to say... that was when I stopped thinking of him as OMG!BLACK!!

Now Hilary, that's a different story I don't know if we could say it was because she was a woman--I am a woman, I am white and I am a RAVING Democrat and if she were on the ballot, I don't know if I'd be able to vote for her--and it has nothing to do with her being a woman...
