Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Why Most Men Are Complete Losers
Lewis told CNN : "As a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention next summer, I will be casting my vote for Barack Obama."
Five weeks before the Democratic convention, Georgia will hold its primary election. For the first time in nearly a decade, Lewis will face a primary challenger, Rev. Markel Hutchins, an Obama supporter.
Hutchins thinks Lewis' time has come and gone. He told the Associated Press: "Today's announcement by Representative Lewis was clearly prompted by political expediency. It is time for a change. It is time to send somebody to Congress who is actually willing to represent the district."
New York Rep. Gregory Meeks reportedly is also feeling the heat for being on the "wrong side of history."
On the flip side, Obamamania may help a white Democrat, Georgia Rep. James Marshall, beat back any challengers. Marshall won his 2006 reelection bid by a slim 1,752-vote margin. With Obama on the ballot earlier this month, black voter turnout in his Republican-leaning congressional district spiked. If black voters turn out in November, Marshall may hold on to his seat.

Addendum to Marjorie White at 10:45 a.m. 3/01/08:
I forgot to mention that I am a "71 year old African American." I'm also very astute in the "Mind Games" that bigots and/or unsconscienable underhanded racist quickly resort to in order to degrade and undermine any person they don't agree with or just plain don't want to become elected to or even put in a position of power because they -- the racist/bigots -- clearly FEAR anyone who they believe is not superior to them- selves. Or, due to their own ignorance, they FEAR that that person they look down on -- degrade at every opportunity -- just might prove to be more superior than them, if given the chance -- mindsets such as that only serves to undermine they're own -- the racist/bigots -- critability.
By the way, I was an elected official for 2 consecutive 4 yr terms in Syracuse, NY -- I was elected to the Syracuse City School District Board of Education twice and, therefore, I KNOW ALL about the tricks that are played, to figuative speaking, DAMN an individual as well as all minority people.
I truly believe that Senator Obama can do the job required of a US President and that he, if given a chance, will carry OUR county forward.
May God Bless ALL of us,
Marjorie R. White

Following my analysis, billions of persons all over the world receive the business loans from different banks. So, there is a good chance to get a credit loan in all countries.
