		<description>[...] Republic of T doubts he&#8217;ll join the Obama Bandwagon, because Obama isn&#8217;t progressive enough for him  This train is bound for glory, this train. And in 2008 it may just be a question of whether you’re on it, under it, or — as I think I will be — standing by the track, watching it go by. [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Meanwhile, there’s Hillary, Obama, Vilsack, Edwards, and possibly Kerry.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, out of that list, at this point I lean decidedly toward Obama.  On the other hand, I still know nothing about Vilsack, and not as much as I&#039;d like to about Obama, so that could all change by election time.

If the earlier primaries haven&#039;t already picked the candidate by the time we Californians get to vote.</description>

		<description>Vilsack has announced his candidacy in Iowa then flew right to New Hampshire. The following morning &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nhpr.org/node/11879&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;he was on NHPR.&lt;/a&gt; You can hear his hour long interview with Laura Knoy.

I listened to it on my way down to school. He said all the things I wanted to hear: renewable energy, &quot;health care is a right, not a priviledge&quot; (but didn&#039;t offer any way of creating universal health care) and he talked about his relationship with god and spirituality. 

As I hear more candidates, I&#039;ll keep everyone posted on my site. But like yourself, I don&#039;t see anyone worth voting for.</description>

		<description>Meanwhile, there’s Hillary, Obama, Vilsack, Edwards, and possibly Kerry.

What? No mention of Gore? I suspect Gore has as good of chance as anyone and better than most. Here&#039;s a couple Gore qoutes


&quot;Your right to fall in love with who you fall in love with. And your right to expect that that will be recognized with the same dignity and honor that love is recognized for other couples.&quot; 

&quot;You must have the right to be who you are, just as I have the right to be who I am&quot;
 
 &quot;As I was on the way here, I reflected on why is there so much controversy about the question of equality for gays and lesbians. Why? This fight has been so long and so hard for something that is so simple and so right.&quot;

		<description>Terrence,

Brotha Obama, the Safe Negro, as I&#039;ve dubbed him, seems to have placed his manhood in a blind trust so as not to arouse the ire of the powers-that-be. He doesn&#039;t seem to wish to rock the boat and unsettle the massive sea of swooning white folk who are prepared to put him in the White House this instant.

I remain skeptical of his abilities and his mettle, but hell, I&#039;m game.  I&#039;ve been waiting for a real, live, black presidential run with legs for nearly twenty years and I ain&#039;t got no luv for Miss Hillary.

I just wish the brotha stood for something other than self promotion. Is that too much to ask?</description>
