9:59 p.m. PT: Although I’m sick of politics, I decided to participate in TV One’s Presidential Forum project. The network will link to black political bloggers starting today, leading up to a presidential forum webcast on Saturday, December 1 (yes, it’s almost December).
TV One is a “a new cable/satellite television network, programming primarily to African American [Cringe!] adults.” The network recently aired “Roots: The Next Generations,” which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hadn’t seen it in years.
My sister think it’s unwise to stop blogging about politics altogether. She says there’s a lot at stake in presidential races, and who is in the White House makes a difference in our lives, even though it may seem pointless to care. I suppose she’s right. 
I haven’t been following political news, so I’d like to know the who, what, where, when, and how of the presidential race. Can you catch me up? What’s the latest Clinton and Obama news? What do you consider blog-worthy?
Update: Shelby Steele has written a book titled A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win. I haven’t read the book, but according to a review (forgot where I read it), Steele says that because Obama grew up somewhat privileged, he was to exaggerate black America’s “oppression” to appeal to black voters, or something like that. Most Democratic politicians do that, don’t they?
