thanks Icadon,naona Shirley Franklin kamshushua kweli Bill! Yaani naona ninakosa mambo mengi maana time difference inatuumiza kama debate hii ya leo ya CNN imetufanye tuamke 4 am hapa Bongo kufaidi debate.
Kuhusu west, mi nadhani Obama will continue to do well, kwa sababu leo inaonekana aliweza kuongea vizuri alipoulizwa kuhusu race, alisema he is for issues that cuts across.
BIckering ya Clinton na Obama can go anyway now, but let me tell you, I had an epiphany and I feel that the brother has exceptional advisors, who are good strategists.
Obama can afford to be confrontational at this stage and he actually had to be because:
- he was irritating young AA who felt that he was taking on the servitude attitude with the Clintons. Remember during slavery and later during the struggle, a white kid anamtukana a Black grown man na he had to say 'Yessir!" So many AAs (especially young) feel that they have earned the right at the table and don't need to be 'nice and civil' while whites get nasty.
- South Carolina is very important for Obama campaign and he needs a win in order to get momentum going to Super Tuesday, so by 'keeping it real with the brothers and sisters' he is winning them over. He can afford to be confrontational now as he will get more support NOW.
- Hillary may just as well loose from this bickering and in the second part of the debate, Obama made a point that he was under attack 'because I am ahead'. And he was full of humour and very generous hivyo kufuta impressions zote negative.
CNN's poll of undecided Democrat voters who were monitoring the debate shows that a large number said that Edwards won the debate by staying above petty politics but more than half of them said that they will vote for Obama because he is electable and represents more closely what they beleive in.
