POLITICAL ROUND-UP: SUPER TUESDAY / CLINTON & OBAMA RESPOND
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
( Diddy’s message to Young America )
Since today is Super Tuesday, I hope everyone that is living in one of the 24 eligible states is out there voting.
Make sure to check MSNBC.COM for an hour-to-hour guide for Super Tuesday and CNN for the latest updates on each candidate. We will have an overview of what went down today on the site tomorrow. Exercise your right and vote!
CLINTON & OBAMA RESPOND

Late last month, we informed you of the open letter hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, self-help guru Deepak Chopra and civil rights leader Benjamin Chavis sent to some of the presidential hopefuls.
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have replied and you can read their responses.

Obama is the most sincere to me. Clinton is okay, but I ain’t forgot about Lani Guanier or Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. That family has a history of backing out on promises when it’s convenient.

As a Non-American female I must say I am just as hyped as you are about this monumental moment in your American history! For the first time ever, the future President of the United States of America, could be Black or Female. That is more than amazing. I said all that to say:
PLEASE AMERICA MAKE IT MORE THAN A POSSIBILITY, MAKE IT HAPPEN: OBAMA for 2008!!!

Hillary Clinton says she will implement a universal health plan that will make it mandatory for Americans to acquire health insurance, even if it means garnishing Americans’ wages. I’m shocked to hear a Democrat say this. I like Hillary, but is this what we want?
