I'm going to say something that I know the Obama campaign will just hate; but that many others are feeling but won't say out loud. We must vote for Barack Obama because he's Black.

I met up recently with Ed Fancher, who published the Village Voice for 20. The Voice was very progressive during his tenure, so I assumed Fancher was another typical New Yorker for Obama. Think again.

McCain not only pointed his finger angrily at his opponent, but chose to refer to a black man in a way that omitted any reference to his humanity. Even if that was not his intention, it was not a particularly deft move.

The St. Paul police should have known better than to try to stop Tom Morello. The Rage guitarist leads a growing number of musicians who have adopted an explicit antiwar, anti-Bush message.

Hillary's convention speech definitely fell short on detailing a personal case for Obama as the right person for the job. That's the core issue for the remaining voters.

Unless there's some terrorist attack or legions of the undead rise from their graves, I seriously doubt McCain is going to win the election -- unless, that is, these wackos don't keep their mouths shut!

As much as Obama cannot and should not abandon his goals, neither can we. We want change we can believe in, but we also want change that can happen.

Linda Sanchez (D-CA) has been a true leader in the fight to hold Rove in contempt. "I think it's ridiculous that Karl Rove thinks that he doesn't have to follow the law," Sanchez told me.

Many progressive supporters of Obama are urging him in a new open letter to stand firm on the principles he so compellingly articulated in his successful primary fight.

McCain's refusal to comment on the secret military analyst program is unsurprising, given his staunch support for every major aspect of the President's Iraq policy.
