audio:
mms://reachm.wmod.llnwd.net/a79/o1/020305/TAVISSMILEY.wma

highlighted the need to re-authorize Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, * failing to mention the ongoing genocide in the Sudan, Bush targetting blacks to support SS reform but not addressing the issues that decrease life expectancy for African Americans, etc.

3. I don't think Tavis cared for him that much
but it seems like he wanted another Bill Clinton, he didn't think Kerry had a strong relationship with Blacks like Clinton/Gore did.

7. Yes, he was
Too bad cause Kerry would have made a good president. I guess the Beantown factor did him in.
