I wouldn't say upper class upbringing. Mom had to dump him at Granma's in Hawaii for awhile. (Mom seemed like the typical white chicks that love to have a black/ethnic lover/husband to feel special.) I read both of Bambi's books early last year --
Dreams from My Father and
The Audacity of Hope. Through most of the first book, I thought he was an honest man, filled with integrity and the aim to do good for America. Then, he starts blabbing about the race card and puffing up his image as a do-gooder.
Yep, as Boon Mee noted with his "nose plugs", I think Republicans and many Dems will suck it up and vote for McCain. I also find it amusing that you've been bashed for wrong nominee picks Booners. I picked McCain right from the start and not one of these pansies has pointed that out.
Guess they only beat ya if they think you are down. (Emphasis on think, although that can be an alien concept for some of them.)
