At a gathering of Democrats in Atlanta, Jackson declared that while the party has both a conservative and a progressive wing, it needs two wings to fly. Democrats let out a sigh of relief. During a debate among the presidential candidates, the preacher sounded so reasonable he was almost irrelevant. His supporters argue this is a more mature Jackson. But the skeptics wink at that. They say Jesse is singing white music to get white votes...
