sharpton and jackson are not obama's surrogates by any stretch of the imagination. the only people who played the race card were the white cracker clintons. obama only responded, reluctantly, to their and their surrogate's charges. sharpton and jackson are the past and they know it. they just play to the old school crowd and get their amens and speaking fees and milk the cow until they're all dead. very few people below the age of forty take them seriously. obama conncects most effectively with an entirely different generation than sharpton and jackson, one that is less segregated and more open to racially inclusion than the older generations.
i'm a former ditto head.
