Obama vs. Jesse Jackson

There is much dismissing of Obama's win in South Carolina by some of the liberal media-- comments such as".. he is a black candidate- so he was expected to win" or ..."Remember Jesse Jackson won South Carolina and did not get the nomination..." and there are others.

Well those people better watch out-- Jesse Jackson went to the 1988 Presidential Convention- in second palce with vote total and delegates.

Most important however- was the stirrring speech he gave. A speech that moved many people- a speech that Obama and John Edwards seem to be copying.

In his heyday Jesse Jackson was a force to be reckoned with.
Many people dismissed his candidacy and many Democratic big shots ignored his constituency-- these ignored Democrats-- became the blue collar Democrats that elected George Bush and Ronald Reagan.

Obama and John Edwards are stirring up these Democrats once more--

the Democrats have better stop the bickering and remember their roots if they expect to capture the White House.
