Barack Obama has kept his campaign vague and counted on voters filling in the blanks, but now that he's almost sewed up the nomination, his
real opinions are beginning to trickle out, and I suspect that they will cost him some support, particularly among gun owners. Then
there's this:
In 1992 Obama took time off to direct Project Vote, the most successful
grass-roots voter-registration campaign in recent city history.
Credited with helping elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the U.S. Senate, the
registration drive, aimed primarily at African-Americans, added an
estimated 125,000 voters to the voter rolls--even more than were
registered during Harold Washington's mayoral campaigns. "It's a power
thing," said the brochures and radio commercials.
