...noble young black doctor Sidney Poitier, in No Way Out (where he has a wonderfully sniveling final scene). Sam Fuller cast him as the pickpocket in the memorably lurid Pickup on South Street. Sometimes he was the lowlife who found someone even lower, as in Don't Bother to Knock, where he gets tangled with crazed babysitter Marilyn Monroe...
...back to that style of meeting people one-on-one and in small groups, having conversations," Obama said in an interview with the Philadelpia Inquirer late last week. "That approach works well for me." If he could manage to eke out a win here it would decisively knock Clinton out of the race, but the Obama campaign is quick to downplay any talk of "winning."

Stein and the Democrats don't understand the Nader voter. I voted for him because I didn't feel the Democrats deserved my vote. As a longtime liberal, I'm interested in a truly progressive Democratic Party, not one that is Republican lite. If Nader weren't running this year, I still wouldn't vote for a Democrat. The party should stop complaining about Nader and try to earn my vote...
