After the primaries on May 20^th, Sen. Barak Obama achieved a milestone by obtaining a majority of the pledged delegates with only undeclared superdelegates remaining. As of this writing, Obama has 1,658 pledged delegates and 307 superdelegates (or a total 1,965) while Sen. Hillary Clinton has achieved 1,500 pledged delegates and 279 superdelegates (or a total 1,779). While neither have achieved the magic number of 2,026 that is needed to secure the nomination, it is clear that there is no way Clinton can win. That is why it is so puzzling as she continues her campaign “full steam ahead” along with her husband (former President Bill Clinton) in her attempt to convince the remaining uncommitted superdelegates to 1) ignore the pledged delegate count, 2) overtu ...

Sen. Obama was unable to close the door on the Democratic nomination with the win of Sen. Clinton in Pennsylvania. Even though it was expected, there was hope that an Obama upset could end the race. Instead, the Democratic party is growing more and more divided.

The question is, "Why is Sen. Clinton still in the race? And what is former President Bill Clinton's problem?" The highest ranking African-American in Congress, House Majority Whip James Clyburn, called the former president's recent conduct "bizarre," and said several of Clinton's actions had deeply upset many African-Americans.

If the poll results from the Pennsylvania primary is any indication, then the democratic vote is dividing between the elderly & white women for Clinton and the youn ...

We’ll return later this month with the “Obama Watch” as we examine the results of the Pennsylvania primary, but I want to discuss some other important issues that is before us.

Well, it wasn’t Sen. Clinton’s campaign tricks… it wasn’t Sen. McCain and the Republican National Committee…. it wasn’t even the inflammatory remarks by Minister Louis Farrakhan…. But it will be Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the spiritual leader of The Trinity United Church of Christ, Senator Barak Obama’s pastor that de-rails his candidacy to the White House.

On Tuesday, March 4^th, I had the privilege to once again engage my right as a citizen of the United States by voting in the presidential primary. I had hoped my vote would have contributed to a win for Senator Barak Obama and thus insure him as the democratic presidential nominee. However, Sen. Hillary Clinton won both of the big states, Texas and Ohio, prolonging the procedure until a later date.

Many predicted that after Super Tuesday (February 5^th), when 22 states held primaries & caucuses, Senator Hillary Clinton would emerge the front runner as the democratic nominee for President of the United States. Early on it was determined by the pundits and media that after Super Tuesday Sen. Barak Obama would fade into the sunset with his wins up to that date classified as being a fluke. But we can see from the New York Giants, that the underdog can win!

Obama Watch: Will Blacks Support Obama?

The upcoming South Carolina democratic primary will be pivotal to the Obama campaign. Having now lost the New Hampshire and Nevada primaries to Sen. Hillary Clinton, this will be the real test on whether Sen. Obama can rally the support of the African-American vote ...

Well the results are in and the headlines all declare that New York Senator Hillary Clinton is the winner of the Democratic primary in New Hampshire. This is after the surprise victory of Illinois Senator Barak Obama in the Iowa Caucus. There is a wave of excitement as Obama becomes the first African-American touted as a viable candidate that can result with a residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January 2009. When he declared his presidency, many doubted whether he could rally the white vote and be taken serious. But we’ve seen that in both Iowa and

Happy New Year! I certainly pray that you had a blessed and enjoyable Christmas holiday.

A new year always brings the opportunity to make new plans and goals that you want to accomplish. While some bemoan the thought of even making goals and plans (using as their benchmark the failure of previous years planning), the beginning of a new year always provides a “clean slate” and becomes a launching point to catapult your dreams to reality!
