Cornel West has been a vocal critic to the Obama presidency, and rightfully so. Obama has failed us. The media likes to frame this as a vendetta against Obama because of a "snub", but don't look at these smoke and mirrors. Obama needs to remember his base, and right now he's not doing it.

In another fine example of Republican hatemongering, Senator Kit Bond from Missouri warned Palin's rally crowd about judges who have empathy "for the teenage mom, the minority, the gay, the disabled."

Because we all know, we shouldn't have that in this country.

In such a competitive Democratic election, it is expected that both sides have heated disagreements, but in the end for our countries sake, the importance of coming together to defeat John McCain in the Fall should be of our highest importance. Both Hillary and Obama have similar political standings, and no matter who ends up being the nominee for the Democrats, if you truly believe in either of their messages, you would vote for the winner against McCain who's policies match George W. Bush. No amount of bitterness or pettiness should hold our country back to continue the failed policies of a third Bush term.

It is important for us to act as adults. I preface this diary with the previous paragraph because I believe that because of this election there are people who have gone so far off the path, that they blindly support their candidate through hate and disingenuity, and in doing so, have hurt her case to the American people and could have the same effect in the Fall. These people come from Hillaryis44.org.

I'm sure you've all seen the pictures from FoxNews and now from Contessa Brewer from MSNBC of them accusing Barack Obama of giving the finger to Hillary in his speech in North Carolina yesterday.

*Updated below*

I've said all along that the longer this primary went on, the better McCain's chances would be in November. Finally, Howard Dean gets the message:

An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they’re for – and "I need them to say who they’re for starting now."

"We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time," the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. "We’ve got to know who our nominee is."

On my travels to various political websites, there has always been one trait from some Clinton supporters that has always bothered me: That they are voting for her just because she is a woman.

Now, everyone is entitled to vote the way they want to, it is one of the joys of living in a Democracy. I have even heard of people not voting for a candidate just based on the way they look or which sports team they root for.

But one thing that irks me is that they proudly say it.

With no backlash or negative response at all.

As an African-American male that has been watching this election like a hawk, I have always felt I had to have a litany of reasons on why I was voting for Obama. Reasons like his record, his character, or his stance on issues.

This is what I was taught to do. To give my vote to a candidate based on what that particular person stood for. I have voted for Hillary twice in my state of New York. I have even defended her to extremely hostile anti-Clinton Republicans in my time.

But after last night’s Saturday Night Live with Tina Fey bit where she pretty much comes out and urges females to vote for Clinton just because she is a woman, and they are women too. I cannot hold back any longer.

I am voting for Barack Obama because he is an African-American.
