Disambig
editDo you think we should have a disambiguation page for "Eugene Robinson"? Right now it goes straight to the football player. --140.232.10.139 (talk) 21:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Criticism section
editThis does not seem to be a big controversy, unless there is a citation to the claim that "he was heavily criticized" for his comments on santorum, while perhaps disagreeable, I wouldn't call this significant enough to warrant a criticism section based on this comment. 96.57.43.154 (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Description of Obama
edit A colleague added a phrase (presumably verifiable, tho unsupported by the only ref in that graph) -- "the first African-American U.S. presidential candidate to win votes in the electoral college" -- which corrects a probably common misconception about a matter that is worthy of WP's attention, at one or more appropriate places (the election, BHO's bio, others?).
In a line, what deserves to be said along those lines has something to do w/ BHO being the first candidate, not identified as "white" (and perhaps the first, born after Independence, to have a non-native-citizen parent?), to who finished at leastworst 2nd (or even 3rd?) in either the popular or EC vote: facts that should be stated w/ refs at United States presidential election, 2012 United States presidential election, 2008. Those facts don't belong in the accompanying article bcz those particulars were not n cs rule out anyone's prez candidacy having a significant chance of winning, and it is a signpost putting many other new possibilities for the future onto the table. ER's bio has the importance it does bcz he had the brass or luck to get the assignment, and he didn't screw it up.
It may suffice to refer to the "history-making first Obama presidential campaign", or to "a campaign that would have seemed quixotic a decade earlier", linked to that already mentioned article.

Older Republican voting
editWill republicans that will not vote for trump because of the insurrection or the 91 charges against him vote for Nikki Haley or Biden? I think there’s a lot of smart republicans over the age of 25 that wants to see our democracy succeed and help Joe Biden win the Election in November 2600:1700:2AD4:910:811D:7554:F799:5FAE (talk) 14:09, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
