Bsi 2,090.23 +7.51 +.36%

The pending retirement of Justice Souter will provide President Obama with his first opportunity to nominate someone to the Supreme Court.  Word out of Washington is that he's looking at women and minority candidates to whom he owes political favors.  Hmmm... Judge Oprah.

So what if she's not a lawyer, right?  

WINNERS

Black Voters (AAV) 19.65 +6.59 +33.54%

The numbers are in and the 2008 election erased the gap traditionally seen between the number of whites and blacks who vote .


Keep an eye on this one, though.  As the Supreme Court has its eyes set on the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

LOSERS

The Idea that Blacks Aren't Serial Killers (BNOSK) 0.00 -1.73 -100%

If Wayne Williams didn't put an end to this idea, the arrest of John Thomas Jr. certainly should.
