The following debate between Adolph Reed, Jr. and Melissa Harris-Lacewell on Democracy Now! is linked to here. For those of you with about 120 megabytes of room on your hard drives, and have the mpeg 4 codec, you can download it here. Reed thinks Barack Obama is incapable of getting elected to the presidency, on the grounds that he is a phony who won't be able to withstand the inevitable Republican Noise Machine (though he thinks Hillary Clinton won't be able to, either, for the same reason). Harris-Lacewell takes the opposing point of view.
