Gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides appealed to black voters Friday as he tried to secure support from a core Democratic constituency that rival Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has courted aggressively this year.

Angelides cautioned community leaders at the NAACP convention Friday not to buy into Schwarzenegger's makeover. He said only a real Democrat would advocate on behalf of minorities and pursue issues they care about.

Angelides moved up his appearance at the NAACP Friday so he could appear in Los Angeles with the Democratic Party's rising star, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

With all the current and upcoming "big guns" of the Dem party appearing with Angelides, his defeat by double digits will send a message.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, Al Gore, John Edwards, Feinstein, Obama all campaigned for Angelides.

The size of his defeat matters, it's not enough for Arnold to "just win". That's why it's important for all Republicans and conservatives to actively vote for Arnold and defeat Angelides by a large margin.

...rising star, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

This "rising star" will turn out to be a dud.

He will crash and burn, beleive you me.

He looks good on the surface but when you challenge his statements, he falls apart like a cheap suit.

LOL. That's a good one.

I have a feeling he will turn out to be someone the Democratic Elite really don't want.

..."This is a clear-choice election, and I need your help," he said. "I need your help not for Phil Angelides but for what we can do together."

Lame. Rhetoric 101.

Oh, and I like this one, from the "state President" of Cal-lee-forn-ya:

...Alice Huffman praised Angelides, calling him a friend and the candidate "whose heart is in the right place."

Whoa! Stunning endorsement! I'm itchin' to go out and vote for this guy...

These sops are gonna do political battle with the TERMINATOR? I'd love to have been in the smoky back room when Angelides was told, "Your names been selected". LOL!

The ridiculous thing about Obama is *ARNOLD* is more experienced to be President than Barack. Obama's been a U.S. Senator for TWO YEARS. That's IT. On the spectrum of experience, he's got nothing going on. It's all the race hustlers who hold him up as the great Rat messiah. His answer on thinking about 2008 was barely comprehensible, meandering jibberish.

Ambulance chaser, "rising star," channeler of fetuses, one-term-and-out ex-Senator John Edwards was useless to John F'n Kerry. Breck Girl is more experienced than Kennedy's pall "Osama Obama."
