In North Texas, conservative African American voters, a small but growing chorus of them, are finding their voice and their message. Even more exciting, they are talking about how that message can be conveyed, so it will be heard, contemplated and embraced.

The head of the DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz stated this past Friday during the season premiere of HBO’s “Real Time” that the Democrat Party is the “natural home” for minorities.

An AP story in the online USA Today described the efforts of American museums and collectors----The Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of the City of New York, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan, the Queens College and more---to amass artifacts and electronic records about the Occupiers.

Before considering my choice for the “best” or most important point made in the back-to-back debates in New Hampshire over this weekend, (and there were many, many excellent comments) Republicans should draw a deep breath and give thanks for a strong field of candidates, any one of whom would be leagues better than the current Oval Office Occupier.
