Donna Brazile Is Not Going To The Back Of The Bus

"If I Were Running This Campaign," the Saturday morning panel featuring NY'er staff writer/moderator Jeffrey Toobin (swoon), and a bevy of his CNN colleagues, including Ed Rollins, Alex Castellanos, and Donna Brazile. Topics discussed: The GOP leadership, Bill Clinton, and Sarah Palin. As the 80-minute discussion wound down, Toobin raised the specter of race in the campaign, and Brazile, 48, let loose with an impassioned, ad-libbed exhortation that could be seen as a prescient, preemptive strike to the race-and-religion baiting tactics ("strategies"?) employed by the increasingly-ugly McCain-Palin campaign.

Donna is right. I think things will be just fine. And if he doesn't win this election due to some issues other than those you just mentioned I think I too, will attempt to be the best catholic man ever, but if that fails I think I will have to just put on my dark shades for quite some time, even at night.

Well, we americans are the most ignorant people to ourselves. As long as we keep talking about race,the media, we all etc..then of course the concept of race will always be a subject of discussion. The only way to end this is to STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!IT's THAT EASY!

I agree, we will need each other! We are in a very difficult period in America. But I am hopeful because of the Obama Campaign's message of unity!

Regardless of who wins the presidency, focus on the economic hardship coming our way and not on racial division.  We are going to need each other regardless of color. Focus on preparation, getting to know your neighbors, not racial division.
