Thus far Senator Obama stands on the issues the same as I do, with one possible exception. If you want to quibble about history, we need not go too far back. 2004, Republicians in charge simply threw legal votes out. How ironic, that most of those votes that did not get counted were from "black" voters. In Southern states. If you think Obama has not experienced bigotry based on his skin tone, think again. He relates to the people in Alabama.
Fair enough. But ask him to stop calling us Southerners "Pooky" and "Jethro". That's even worse than Hillary's faux southern accent even though it got no attention.
Damn, I did not know about this. You are right though. I had always thought it was a Northern Democrat vs. Southern Dixiecrats or George Wallace types. Seems most democrats have blood on their hands, as you implied. Obama still has my vote ;)
The Democrats didn't allow black representation at their 1964 National Convention. This was where civil rights heroine Fannie Lou Hamer gave her famous "I'm sick and tired" speech, and the denial to seat black delegates from Mississippi. And all this AFTER Kennedy.
This is not just a fair and just man. This is a man of inspiration. He's a rightious man. He's a man who weighs the pros and cons before acting. Without a doubt, this man is a true world leader for all men, women, and children. He has values and compassion. He's a straight speaker and not a pleaser of men. As independents, we find him very appealing to our views and vote.

And all this took place in New Jersey - not exactly the heart of the South...
