Kudos to Hutcherson and the other man mentioned, Jesse Lee Peterson.

Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny in Los Angeles, concurs. He says he doesn't care about being part of an historic moment.

"There's no way that I can vote for Barack Obama simply because of a historic moment and he is a black man. That doesn't make sense to me," he says. "We should judge people based on character and not color or historic moment."

Huzzah, someone without plaque on the brain.

Everybody knows this but nobody wants to talk about it. People better start talking about it before it gets carried away and harder to stop.

[Polybius]

It should be about character, they say, not skin color.

In your dreams, Dr. King.

Thank God for these two men.
I've been asking for months: When 98% of the Black Community votes for the ONLY Black Candidate in a crowded Primary field, ISN'T THT RACIST?

[Carley]

I would expect nothing better from Colin Powell.

It is as bad to vote for an unqualified candidate because of his race as it would be to vote against a qualified candidate because of his race.

I could vote for Dr Rice (black,female,unknown religion,Californian) rather than Ted Kennedy (white,male,Irish,"Catholic" Bostonian...just like me) in a heartbeat.

If I can do it...others should be able to.

(Please note,however,that I'm a *real* Catholic...not one of these "Ten Suggestions" types).

The problem is there is no alternative to Obama.

[Tax-chick]

Good for them! I’m flabbergasted by the list of so-called conservatives who would even consider voting for an anti-American, death-eating Marxist, simply because he had a black father.

Did any well-known conservative women say they considered voting for Hitlery?

I'm glad to read this about "the Hutch." He talks the talk AND walks the walk.

His Superbowl predictions to Rush last year were right on the money. Great guy!

Whoa! That really surprises me about J.C. Watts. I guess I didn’t know him as well as I was thought to believe about his conservatism.

This whole election is going to be about race. How many people out there are going to vote for Obama just to be a part of the ‘hey, look at me - I voted for the first African-American President’ crowd? Never mind what his qualifications are.

Jesse Lee Peterson’s book was a pretty powerful read. It is titled “Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America.”

[JZelle]

It’s more than skin color. How many blacks would support Obama if he were conservative?
