Another reason to love Colbert...

The self-proclaimed "Colbert Bump", where a politician enjoys a popularity surge just after coming on the show, isn't all myth- at least not for the party I like to call 'slightly better'.

Work it, Hil!

Election math.

Both candidates are impressive. I have a hard time understanding when Obama is accused of "only talk". The guy is only 7 years older than me and was the head of the Harvard Law Review, worked to legally represent the underprivileged in Chicago's south side, ran one unsuccessful campaign and two successful ones (the last getting him to the US Senate), and has fought the Clinton political juggernaut to a standstill. I, on the other hand, pat myself on the back when I remember to run an errand for the wife.

No matter who wins, I'm going to vote for the democrat (until the green party gets it's act together). I wonder though, how enthusiastically will the newly registered black voters go to the polls in November if the qualified black candidate with more of the popular vote, more delegates, and more money, can't get the nomination.
