I spent my whole life thinking that I was a pure blood caucasian and have only been enlightened to my heritage as of recently. I am also native American and Jewish... I am WHOLLY American sir.

Can you ever type a post without hurling insults?
There was a time you would have been considered legally Black. Some of the old laws had that if you had 1/8 "black blood" than you were black. I remember seeing a talk show several years ago where it was revealed to an audience of "white" people that they had African ancestry. That was enlightening for them.

I am confused about the African-American DNA part though. Do African-Americans have different DNA?

Crist is already out. McCain has been told Crist is unacceptable to the party's religious right and that's the group who like McCain the least.

Hillary's now quite rich. She will get richer, as will Bill. She likes the limelight.

Hey Nick - I like your posts, and they make sense, but you are trying to reason with the unreasonable. The loud minority on these political threads believe with their entire beings that Hillary was shit out from the bowels of hell.

My parents were in the audience on Saturday in DC. I met Hillary back in January. She would have been a great President.

Thanks, saabman. I did support Hillary initially and voted for her in the primary although the idealist in me gravitated toward Obama, but I'm really not out to proselytize or convert anyone here. My bigger point is to emphasize the spirit and tone of the speech she gave, which I think was magnificent (if, admitttedly, perhaps not quite as timely, by 24 hours, as it might have been). Yeah, she's tough and ambitious, but in a man those would be qualities to be admired. In the end, she's got a carrer in public service and she'll continue to contribute to the country in one capacity or another for years to come.
