More endorsements for Bill, er, Hillary

Clinton Nevada campaign chairman Rory Reid hosted a conference call Tuesday morning to announce some endorsements from area African-Americans who vow to get someone to show up at a caucus or two. It surely was not the first instance in recent U.S. political history of a Mormon speaking about the importance of reaching out to black voters. But it always feels like the first time, no?

Baptist Pastor Robert Fowler and Hannah Brown, who as president of the Urban Chamber of Commerce is the voice of African-American bidness, were on the horn to explain that after due consideration of Senator Obama, they and other prominent area African Americans have determined that Hillary Clinton is probably going to win the nomination, er, is the most qualified candidate.

"Thing were better for us some years ago ... when her husband was president," Brown explained.

True. Still, the most important task facing the new president will be convincing much of the rest of the planet to chill for a minute, and we'd have much more faith in Clinton's capacity in that regard if, instead of Rodham, her middle name was Hussein.

Speaking of which, the details on Obama's Friday visit are out. Same deal as with Clinton's Wednesday "conversation" -- visit Obama's site, tell them how they can reach you to hit you up for money and support and such over the next several months, and they'll give you a free ticket to go see the erstwhile phenom.

By the way, Obama will be doing Reno Thursday. And both Clinton and Obama have scheduled time with the Culinary this week.

And in recently released round of polling in early states that do matter (Iowa, Florida, NH), Obama has fallen back considerably from Edwards and Clinton.

Bringing up the fact that Obama's middle name is Hussein-- while very true-- is more or less unnecessary, as well as being shadowed by other great qualities that you somehow forgot to mention. Have a little faith in the American public's ability to look past sterotypes and racial profiling.

This election is about the future, not "how good" life was in a pre-Bush America.

We're going to win.
