Race and religion, Barack Obama and Clarence Thomas.

Prof. Althouse quotes at length from an email from an email from one of her most favored commenters. The commenter is not an Obama fan and (at least to me) that comes through in the email. It doesn't mean that Prof. Althouse is negative on Obama (though I have a hard time seeing her giving a pro-Obama email from a commenter similar prominence with so little comment {in large part I don't know that there are any pro-Obama commenters who are in her good graces).
