From the New York Times:
Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams, who is black, also spoke, and later had the opportunity to place McCain’s name before the delegates in nomination. He alluded to the historic significance of Obama’s breakthrough as the first black presidential nominee for a major party, a nomination he accepted at the Democratic convention in Denver.
”But I am here with you in St. Paul, rather than being in Denver last week, because I believe values and ideas take precedence over the politics of demography and identity,”
Funny. That’s precisely why I’m a Democrat and supporting Obama.
