      I like Gwen Ifill GOOD! Just like I knew that I would!...

      When I see her on TV, that's when the weekend officially starts. When I see her on TV, that's when I start to relax, knowing that I made it to another weekend. Even though she leans to the left, she's FAIR, and very CLASSY; not like that old turkey buzzard, the lovely Elanor Clift... Gwen Ifill GOOD! Is comfort food for the soul.

      I don't think any of this really had much to do with it at all. Society simply went around the black establishment whose idea seems to have always been to maintain rather than abolish the civil rights impasse. (They are probably joined in this by the more radical elements.) And I think Obama was elected by that change in attitude, but even more so by the economic crisis. I do think there are more black Republicans around than immediately apparent.

      Biefking, the size of the video really depends on the resolution. Blowing it up in the player would likely result in a blurry image as most of these things are done lo resolution in order to save bandwidth.

      Ole Gwen's a class act. She's grounded down to her toes. If you didn't have to compromise yourself so much to be president she would make a good contender for the first female black president. But, alas, that would destroy her solidity. If you would want the job, it would ipso facto disqualify you. She's a kick, nonetheless.
