Ray, when it comes to these posts in this thread, you and I read the exact same post but have a completely different interpretation.

many people who are closer to 20 than i am are even more progressive on the topic of race. and while many of them may not have voted in the past, the possibility of being drafted will motivate 20 somethings to the polls.

What percentage of these 20-somethings vote? In the last election turnout among this cohort (age group) was higher than usual. But as a whole this age group comprises a low percentage of the over all voting population.

consider again what FF is proposing....the man should drop out the presidential race in jan. 2007 because of his middle name and religion. how is that good for the country?

I am proposing this also. Yes, he should stay out of the race because of his race, middle name, step-dad's religion, and because of his inexperience.
This is the Hillary vs. whoever, show.
Good for the country? I don't know. Probably not.
