      <![CDATA[I've got some news for you, Maia: based on my admittedly statistically insignificant surveys (yes, not to be trite, but "some of my best friends" actually are black), there's a high level of contempt in the black community for Herenton as well. <br>
<br>
Believe it or not, black voters aren't the sheep Herenton thinks they are.

      <![CDATA[in spite of the high level of hatred in the white community for "A sassy, arrogant, egotistical negro", Willie Herenton is still loved and respected in his community--District 9. Does calling this man a liar among other derogatory names make way for a harmonious community of two races, one "white" and one "black"?

      <![CDATA[I say we schedule a PUBLIC debate, maybe at the Shell, and let the audience ask the questions--I bet we could get Palazola to donate some audience feedback. <br>
<br>
I know Steve would show and if Willie didn't, we could all take the tomatoes to his house.

      <![CDATA[This is too funny, if he thinks a simple local debate is unfair, just wait till it's national news. The rest of the country don't know slick Willie like we do, when they get a whiff of his stench he'll be the laughing stock.

      <![CDATA[More and more Willie Herenton's actions remind me of the final scene in "Sunset Boulevard", in which aging silent movie queen Norma Desmond descends down the grand staircase of her home, delusional and fantasizing she's on the set of her new movie, with adoring fans and press gathered below her. Except Norma was ready for her close-up.

      <![CDATA[Participants in debates, on any level, frequently have a say in who does the questioning, so I don't think WW is completely out of line for objecting to Chanel 3's choices (even if he may be out of line for challenging their fairness). <br>
<br>
I think WW should have the right to choose one of the questioners, Steve should have the right to choose the other and each of them should have the right to approve each other's choice.
