though I agree with what I think your initial appraisal is, even our folks are new sometimes.
If they're a shill, we'll see that in time.

Why?

Because if there were an avalanche of prominent black politicians and supporters coalescing around Bernie, then the endorsement would carry more weight, and have more of an effect. But unfortunately for Bernie, that hasn't happened yet. He is gaining some traction, but not nearly enough to change the dynamics of the black vote going overwhelmingly for Hillary. A perfect example of what I'm talking about is like what is starting to happen for establishment figures coalescing around Rubio as an alternative to Trump. Those endorsements are starting to matter more and more because it generates momentum, basically the "snowball effect"

but thanks for your input, I'm sure you decide to answer for others all the time. Now please, kindly go take a long walk off of a short pier and let Jitter answer with their own ideas or arguments?

and to jump in a lake, and that's your response? not 'Oh, maybe I should let the person asked answer and not decide that I have the answers that are sought'
Your priorities are bass ackwards mate, bass, effing, ackwards.

The Spike Lee endorsement? Or this particular ad?

And if you say the endorsement (or "both&quot , is there anyone you can think of, who has not yet endorsed either candidate, who you think could really make a difference?

Saw the TELEVISION ad here in Philly for the first time yesterday.

Powerful.

is so much better than an endorsement.

Morgan Freeman is backing Hillary Clinton for president, the actor told CNN's Don Lemon.

The Oscar winner also told Lemon that he doesn't have any trust issues with Clinton.

"Not with me, she doesn't," Freeman said in an interview that aired Friday on "CNN Tonight." "I can't say that she doesn't, because all you need in some cases for people is to say it. Just put it out there and it gets legs. The Clintons have been being beat down ever since way back, so she just was going along with that legacy that she's inherited over the amount of time she's been in politics, which is a long time."

Freeman added, "I think this is just made-up stuff, just, you know, it's political hogwash."

Danny has been political forever.

Bill & Morgan have some common ground.

Actor Danny Glover introduced Bernie Sanders at a large rally in Greenville, South Carolina, Sunday night. Glover endorsed Sanders earlier this month, but this appearance onstage was his first side-by-side with the Vermont senator.

"What a moment, what a moment," Glover said as he took the stage. "You can feel the Bern, don't you feel it?"

Coming off a loss in the Nevada caucuses Saturday, the Sanders campaign staff is now bracing for back-to-back losses, as the the Vermont senator continues to lag behind Hillary Clinton in the polls in South Carolina, which holds the nation's next primary on Saturday. Their hope is to exceed expectations here, especially with the African American vote, which so far has largely and almost uniformly backed Clinton.

As such, Sanders spent the morning courting these coveted voters at a church in Columbia. He was accompanied there by former NAACP head Ben Jealous, who is also backing him. The campaign is clearly hoping these high profile African American personalities will help move the needle.

Very true.

Spike Lee isn't a real black guy.

What is the "sarcastic" point you're trying to make?

claiming he has done nothing for them.

That was the point.

I can't wait to hear this ad!!!

So Spike Lee is in good company for sure,
or is it the other way around ... ?

Things keep getting twisted.

What would 'do the right thing' as directed by Cornell West be like?

Bernie!

I haven't heard a lot of them lately, but in the runup to NH I heard plenty from Hill's camp. Meh.
