William “Mo” Cowan -YES - Barney Frank - NO

Great job Gov. Great Job!

I'm elated to hear that Governor Deval Patrick has picked a highly qualified Black Man, William “Mo” Cowan as his choice to serve as the interim US senator until the successor to John F. Kerry is chosen by the voters June 25.

As a former and long time resident of Massachusetts I'm excited to see Mr. Cowan a North Carolina native and Duke University graduate and one of the city’s leading African-American lawyers take on the position. It was great to see Governor Deval Patrick to buckle to so-called liberal groups who wanted Barney Frank in the position. Congratulations Governor Deval Patrick and William “Mo” Cowan.

Hello and welcome to my Blog

As you can see, I'm a former moderate-progressive Democrat, now a moderate-progressive registered Independent voter, blogger and blogtalk radio host.

I have been recognized both nationally and internationally as an African American social and political blogger who talks about politics in laymens terms.

Yes, I'm a African American Baby Boomer who gives common sense independent African American political opinion to issues important to the African American communities. I call it the way I see it. Many times it may not be a popular opinion, and it probably won't be what negro civil rights groups, and so-called black leaders want to hear. Candidly I could give a royal crap if they agree or disagree.

I have had the opportunity of serving as a credentialed blogger at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. I continue to support and voted for President Barack Obama, although I have been a critic of "some" of his political appointments and policies. I appreciate you reading my blog. If you have thoughts or comments regarding a blog post, come on over to my Facebook Page to have a conversation. You can contact me at AfricanAmericanPundit@gmail.com

Take the opportunity to read what my hometown newspaper

The Bay State Banner has to say about me:

"OK, folks, black bloggers to the back of the bus," read one post on the African American Political Pundit, one of the more prominent national black blogs." More HERE

What Media Outlet's Say About This Blog

Rewind 2008 Democratic National Convention Blogger LN Rock of African American Pundit.com predicts the blogosphere will have a "significant" role in deciding the election in November. "It tells the story when you have 120 bloggers coming to the convention," he says. "Millions of people listen, watch and hear what the bloggers say. There is a disenchantment with the traditional media." He spares the BBC his criticism, saying we are "creative media." Cheers, LN.
