So, I can see why you might have a little crush on James Carter IV, Opposition Research Artist Extraordinaire.. We know the Cons have been doing this and here is Proof Positive.

Too bad Lee Atwater isn't around to see this latest Win from President Obama and The American People.

and I have to say "crush" did not come to mind. I'm so happy with what he has done for the Democrats and that he has honored his grandfather with his investigative skills. I even started a thread thanking him shortly after the results came in.

I also liked how Toure gave him total credit and thanked him for helping in a big way in the campaign.

"TOURE: Reverend, I`m actually just happy to be on here with James,
who we could call maybe the secret MVP of the 2012 campaign. The
Republicans used the Jimmy Carter name wrongly so many times, right? To
try to make Democrats and Obama look bad.

SHARPTON: Yes.

TOURE: And to have it come back that you, sir, stick the knife in
Romney`s rib and make it almost impossible for him to win, I think that`s a
delicious irony. Congratulations to you, sir.

CARTER: Thank you. "

His YouTube page is a gold mine for opposition researchers. Shortly after the 47% video was released, he said he hoped he could make a living as an opposition researcher. I'm wondering if someone is now funding him because it's my understanding he traveled to see the widow of the man who recorded the Atwater interview. So it sounds like he's branching out from his internet research to being a boots on the ground kind of sleuth now. I find that VERY encouraging, and being the grandson of Jimmy Carter makes it even sweeter!

and I never would've thought my opinion of the GOP would shrink smaller than it already has. Romney was lucky to even have 6% of black voters support him this election. But I honestly think it shouldn't even have been 1%. There's no reason for any self-respecting black person to support a party that casts us as "the other" and exploits animus towards us for political gain.

He was on Al Shaprton's show. Great segment. My first thought was the beard makes him look like my brother LOL. Maybe someone knows where a link is but facial hair looks good on him. Fine young man President Carter must be proud. I bet his grandmother is smiling too. I always loved them and thought that he got a raw deal, especially later with all the crap repoopy heads always said about him. I thought he was a great President and even better human being.

He looks and sounds like one of the huge majority of white guys that voted for Romney but he's one of the good guys.

Also, like many of us, he has a cell phone with video capability so he can catch the Repukes with their pants down.

I love it!

And what you did with your work perhaps saved the country from a rough four years.
