Tonight's Dem debate in Myrtle Beach South Carolina is about to kick off. Hosted by CNN and the Congressional Black Caucus, on the day we celebrate as Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, in a state where 30% of the population is black and 50% of Dem voters are black, and in the first presidential election with a black candidate who might actually win the nomination of the Dem party.
S.C. debate to highlight Democratic fight for black vote says CNN. Apparently, the Clinton campaign has already conceded South Carolina to Obama. (NY Observer Politicker) I wouldn't be surprised to see Bill hop onto the stage tonight... Jackie Salit, President of the strategy center committed to building the independent movement, the Committee for a Unified Independent Party, posted a message for Obama on the front page of independentvoting.org called Independents Will Make the Difference on February 5th.
Independents have been speaking out for some time now against the partisan political culture that is so destructive to our country's future. The Dem primary is becoming a contest between the establishment and the forces for change, in which the Clintons treat the black and Latino vote as their private property. Next Saturday we'll hear from African American voters.
It's a Perfect Storm of US history.
