Sure He's Cool, But Why Will You Vote For Him?

I think it's cool that Vibe decided to run a cover story on presidential candidate Barack Obama and I might even have to pick this issue up just to see what they'll print about him.  But I also wonder how many people will vote for him just because he's black?  I know plenty of people who base their votes on who is popular or who their friends/family are voting for which is just wrong on so many levels.  I predict that unlike the campaign that Diddy ran last time, the younger generation really is up on their politics now and they will make a solid vote based on who they feel is truly the lesser of two evils and who is fighting for what they believe in (but of course I could be completely naive and overly optimistic).  For those of you who don't really know what his issues and views are, all you have to do is go to his website which will give you an overview but also listen to his speeches as well.  It's very important to see candidates in action.   I'm not big on speaking about politics - I vote for who I vote for and I just leave it at that and besides that, 98% of them are bogus anyway.  But since this is going to be one of the biggest races ever, I felt the need to briefly speak on it.  So here is some helpful info that you can link to on the candidate.  But remember, this is just a starting point.

Kelly Rowland on KING Magazine

Something I thought all you guys out there might enjoy.  I hope this isn't her future though.  That cd of hers has been pushed back two or three times and she hasn't even released a second single.  She's more talented and more attainable than Beyonce so I truly hope she gets her due shine, but until she gets from up under the Knowles Clan, I guess this is what we'll mostly be seeing from her.

This also has me thinking, why can't there be a publication like this for us females?  There are many celebrities out there who I appreciate and occasionally fantasize about.  I imagine it would just have to focus on celebrities (Boris Kudjoe) and athletes (Reggie Bush) because i can't quite imagine how it would look if my favorite rapper was on the cover and on second thought I have to think maybe it is best left to the females...

Jessica Alba does GQ

Hmmm in my opinion, she looks extremely skinny.  I always thought she had a little more meat on her bones.  But at any rate, here are some more pics from the photo shoot...
