This NYTimes article describes how Obama is an ice-breaker for many people to talk about race in a better way. I am not so sure it's been a net win for us here in Bermuda. Perhaps I'm getting cynical -- I didn't even take the time to fully read Rolfe Commissiong's latest piece in the Sun. Oh, and by the way, Obama would win for the UBP in Paget West.
I am a white Bermudian male in my 30s. I ran as a UBP candidate in Southampton East in the December 2007 General Election. I currently work in the reinsurance business, have a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT, and love to sail. You can call me on 325 4868 or email decouto/alum.mit.edu with your comments (swap / with @).
