If you asked me a few years ago, would people be singing this song (known as the African American anthem) as an African American is elected our next President.

Lift Every Voice and Sing--CNN Declares for Obama at 11:00pm!
Minutes after CNN declared that Barack Obama will be our next President, CNN online showed a crowd gathered at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. This church, the pulpit of Rev.

Compare Your Positions to the Candidates
I just used a great web tool from Glassbooth that compares your positions to that of the candidates.
Since they did not interview the candidates directly, their grading of the candidates is subjective.
Still, it is a useful way to see where you stand in relation to them.
Not surprising, I was closest (86% and 85%) to Obama and Edwards--the two candidates I favor among the Democratic nominees. Hillary Clinton was a close third (although only a little more of a match than Kuccinich).
