This is ridiculous, this guys name has been bandied about over the last few days like he is some kind of rock star. He's just another black democrat that the media wants to cling to.

By next month he will be a nobody. He's a flash in the pan.

I've seen him interviewed and I was quite impressed.

Was not nearly as impressed with his speech - same tired old playbook and allegations.

No. I saw this guy for the 1st time tonight. He's articulate, black, a "centrist", X42 in black and he resonates.

I'd heard rumblings about this guy but watch out - he's a silver tongued devil with a great speech writer. I saw Je$$E J. and he looked like someone had stolen his milk money. Watch out for this man!

Having said that, I admire the guy and his acumen - so please don't write him off - he's a force to be reckoned with.

Yes, everyone was saying the same things about Ford from TN not long ago, haven't seen him on TV in a LONG time.

I don't think so... there is a HUGE buzz over him and after seeing him speak and the reaction of the crowd I know I can admit I am terrified of him...

He supposedly has links to the "new" Black Panthers (that has yet to be confirmed though). The little I have read about hin he is a Socialist.
