Comments about ‘A night of highs, lows’

The Deseret News has had a longstanding policy of not publishing letters-to-the-editor addressing political contests the day before and day of the election.

We are applying that same moratorium to comments on election stories beginning Sunday. We will apply the moratorium on older stories as well.

The rationale for the policy is two-fold: Give voters time to cool down and reflect on the choices they will make on Tuesday; and, avoid playing a role in influencing voters by posting possible false, last-minute attacks on candidates.

Thanks for your participation and don't forget to vote.

I am curious as to how this election will influence the "civil rights" agenda. It has long been a fight to get back at other races (mostly white) for past slights. If you are 50 or younger, it is highly unlikely that you have any racial bias that matters. Of course some people will, but I'm speaking in general terms.

Will the radicals like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton et al, begin to declare a victory for their causes and change their focus? Will they educate their constituents on how to BE LIKE Obama and go and CHASE (work for) your dream, as opposed to the railing on other people for all of the perceived problems they face.

Just curious
