Real News Video with Pepe Escobar: Obama’s got a brand new bag

Obama is gaining ground even in red Georgia; James Brown, a Republican, might have endorsed him



"The Godfather of Soul James Brown, who sprang up to legend from Augusta, Georgia, was a staunch Republican but also an icon of the civil rights movement. The fact that Senator Barack Obama is gaining ground even in red Georgia - where early voting favors him - would not have displeased the Godfather; Pepe Escobar argues that James Brown would have found many points in common with a black man with historical consciousness and fighting for social justice. Republicans, meanwhile, prefer to depict Obama as a dangerous marxist."
