ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS COMMENTARY: Taking The Bulls By The Horns
Booker Rising (Free subscription) | 08/29/2008
The conservative Republican commentator argues that there are some cold facts that Sen. Barack Obama and the Democrats need to face : "The candidates are in a statistical dead heat. The selection of Joe Biden as a running mate did not give Barack Obama the bounce he was expecting. Nor does anyone expect Biden to bring any state (other than his small home state of Delaware) to Barack Obama’s winning...

Thomas comments reflect Obama's bias (Armstrong Williams, August 25, 2008, Townhall) As I sit here in Denver, reporting from a Democratic convention that is turning out to be anything but conventional, I am reminded of the struggle that black conservatives have had to endure by going against the grain. In many ways, Sen. Barack Obama's ordeal within his own party mirrors that of black conservatives;...

Obama Throws Justice Thomas Under the Bus
The Vanel Journal (Free subscription) | 08/19/2008
The question was simple enough: Which existing Supreme Court Justice would you not have nominated? He could have simply answered Justice Scalia, Alito and perhaps Roberts who he voted against.

The black conservative Republican commentator writes : "I can’t get over the media circus surrounding Senator Barack Obama’s current trip to the Middle East. Never mind that Senator John McCain’s recent trip overseas hardly made the nightly news (we will just chalk that up to another instance of media bias), but the fact that the world went crazy as soon as Obama stepped on the plane means something...
