"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

Tim Russert gives the eulogy for the Clinton campaign
I ran into a man today from WV, a former labor organizer who knows the state and its people. He said, also including Western PA and SE Ohio, that thoe folks "will have a lot of trouble voting for a black man." He then said it's still possible, given the overall state of things under You-Know-Who and Who, for Obama to get these votes, but "he'll have a lot of work to do." I just hope the Obama folks know how hard they are going to have to work--
