Errol Louis from that site in the city has an interesting entry on a column in the LA Times by David Ehrenstein.
Both are worth a look, as is this take from Ebony/Jet. The topic has to do with the candidate's white-liberal attraction, and as the Ebony piece points out, the column has banked its way over to Rush Limbaugh for a different kind of discussion. On Tuesday, the site Media Matters gave its own account from a little to Limbaugh's left.

"There was also an exchange about the charges of racism that were made during the conflict. Mr. Jacobs said that he had attended a lengthy meeting in Mr. Corbin's district. He said that during the evening he had told the audience that his lack of support for Mr. Corbin was not racially inspired. He had also stated that he could never see himself supporting Al Sharpton for president, but could see himself supporting Senator Barack Obama for that position in the future." a quote from the Bidenesque Jay Jacobs...Chairman of the Nassau Democratic Committee. He also supports gays who aren't too gay.
The writer of the Ebony/Jet column calls David Ehrenstein, a White man. If he really read the story, he would have noticed that Mr. Ehrenstein is African-American.
