Don't know if you've read me from the beginning in Oct. of '02 or stuck with me when my posts dropped off after Bush 2.0's re-election in '04 but 2008 is too important an election not

Frost Illustrated has some reporting on how some prominent black Republicans are taking a second look at Obama and how they are torn between their party and their race.

That's exactly what I intend to do; my vote is to send a message, but it's not about courting the black vote, it's more about the issues they choose to run on each election year.
