Ed, I’m just calling to say I read a comment made by Alex Bethea, and I take offense to it. He goes “I’m Democrat, but when the need calls for it, I will vote Republican. But this time I’m going to go Democrat. We don’t get this opportunity but once in a lifetime and the opportunity to vote for a black man.” Do you understand what that’s saying to us? C’mon, give me a break. Vote for the best candidate, not color.

I think if you talked to him long enough you’d see he thinks Obama is the best candidate. Meanwhile, he’s excited about the historical significance of a black presidential candidate. He just mixed it all together in that quote.—Ed. Note
