What blackness???

His Marxism might cost him six too. Hard to say David. You keep beating the Americans-are-racist drum. I will keep beating the Americans-are-Americans drum. These idiots were just bathing in the racism tub last night. From NewsBusters.
ANDERSON COOPER: But if you look at the CNN poll which Campbell Brown just told us about the short time ago, on the economy, Obama 59 percent and McCain 36 percent. David Gergen, do you agree with John King and James Carville that if those numbers continue it's basically game over?DAVID GERGEN: I think it's too early to declare victory Anderson, because Barack Obama is black. And until we play out the issue of race in this country, I don't think we'll know and maybe unless -- late in the campaign.
COOPER: Do you think that despite the lead in the polls, people might change their minds once they're actually in the voting booth?
GERGEN: I'm not sure the polls are totally believable, I think there's -- there maybe built in. Over the years there's a study now that's come out of Stanford University and Associate Press along with Yahoo, saying that is -- that his blackness may cost him as much as six points I think he's in a commanding position coming out of this second debate. Having won two, having done as well as he has, I think he's established in the public's mind now that he is certainly as qualified to be president as John McCain.
Not to be outdone, James Carville hints that if Obama loses, there just might be cause to riot.

Does that mean if he was 100% black it would cost him 12 points?
I would like to ask Gergen what was going on in his head, but that really is none of my blackness.
Where do I send you the bill for my monitor?
Gergen needs to get real. What’s costing Obama is Obama.
LOL
Oh just bring on the riots already. Purge the system..they are begging for it to happen. Only Dems have been making this entire election one sided, biased, dirty, and threatening anyone with a differing opinion.
You know...”Get in their face”
Some people say Obama is 1/2 white and 1/2 black.
That would also make him 1/2 racist and 1/2 victim.
“Does that mean if he was 100% black it would cost him 12 points?”
Amen!! I keep saying they should refer to him as white half the time and black half the time. I’ve always heard him referred to as black though, never white.
And I guess its not racist for 97% of blacks to vote for a black....
If Gergen is already intimating this.....he’s behind by MORE than that internally....
I just want to know who all the racists are?
All of us conservative, Republican, religion and gun clingin’, redneck, Bible thumpin’, facist, nazi, commies were never going to vote for him anyway...
That's it, democrats. Keep stoking the flames of racial hatred and division in our Republic.
Nevermind the fact that many Americans of all races like Bill Cosby, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Michael Steele and so on...
It is the politicians that behave like Idi Amin, Josef Stalin and Yasser Arafat that we don't like.
So stop calling us all racists for not voting Obama.
I don't like Pol Pot, Osama Bin Laden or Robert Mugabe either, so does that make me a racist?
Sheesh.
That’s mighty white of David Rodham Gergen.
Shouldn’t it be 3% ‘cause 0be’s a mulatto?
He will more than make that number up in the Obama/ACORN vote fraud machine.
As far as what James Carville said; I honestly believe he is predicting rather than threatening. Carville is still very much a Clinton supporter. His support of Obama is lukewarm at best.
How do they come up with 6? Why not 2 or 8? Do they poll KKK meetings? Looks like these guys just pull this stuff out of their a$$.
Kerry and Gore won their debates too.
If his race costs him points, his race also gets him points. Sorry, Gergen. Obama's "blackness" cuts both ways.
Gergen is a first class idiot. How does he think Obama got to be the nominee. David, do ya think some white folks may have had a hand in that? I’m so sick of the race card. Gergen has lost all credibility.
How many points for hating “Whitey”?
What blackness???
I mean, these d@mn democrats go around calling everyone a racist because they don't like Communists.
I don't like Kim Jung Il, and these democrats will call me a racist for maintaining my beliefs.
What the democrats are doing is totally asinine.
No wonder their mascot is a jackass.
Inciting riots should be a crime. If riots do occur after Obama loses, and he will lose, then Carville should serve some jail time for his irresponsible statement here.
Ears that won’t fit on Rushmore doen’t help him either.
Predicting and inciting is not the same thing.
I happen to agree with Carville.
Even though he was abandoned by his black father and raised by his white relatives.
If he was 100% white would that make him John Kerry?
Juan Williams on Fox estimated it at 5%.
The more I hear from David Gergen, the more I think he was the REAL White House mole...named “Deep Throat”.
I thought of the perfect counter for any I’m voting for “Barak because he is black” opinions
Would you vote for John McCain if he were Black and Obama was White???
Imagine a Black decorated war hero and prisoner of war with a lifetime of experience in congress versus a White newbie senator who was thrust upon the public scene by a bunch of racists and Klansmen intent on overthrowing this country and setting up their own little white nations.
I often wonder how many points the liberal bias in the MSM has cost McCain.
“These things happen every few years or so. It gets rid of the bad blood”.
George Bush needs to state on the night of the election:
No federal bailout for burned out, riot stricken, crime ridden, Blue state cities!!!
Obama's "Blackness" is the only thing that has put him where he is today.
If his father had been a white Swedish graduate student that left him and his white American mother shortly after his birth instead of a black Kenyan graduate student that left him and his white American mother shortly after his birth; .......
If his politics were exactly the same; ......
If his previous political accomplishments were exacty the same; .......
If he were white, blonde and had been named named Bjorn Olsen by his father; .....
Would anybody in the Democrat Party be giving Bjorn Olsen, former community organizer, Illinois State Senator and U.S. Senator for less than one term the time of day?
.....HOPE.....
Would they?
Repubs won’t vote for him because he’s not a Repub.
Dems who won’t vote for him, well, it could either be that they are Reagan Dems, it could be they don’t trust him with national security, or there could be darker motives. They’re Dems, who knows.
But if you’re going to say that he lost due to racism, you are indicting the Democratic Party.
Perfect and the reverse of that is how many points does McCain lose by being white? With black military voters even?
I’ve got my side-by-side ready to go.
Look, if he loses they’ll riot.
If he wins, they’ll riot.
It’s a lose/lose proposition.
To think Gergen used to be the MSM’s go-to
‘republican’ pundit...
He may be half black but he’s all RED.
Major Garrett on Fox said the Obama campaign itself is anticipating the “Bradley Effect” to cut down their votes by approximately 5%.
With regard to the polls, I can’t help but wonder if there’s any accuracy left anymore - with the new technology, how many people purposely ignore them? I let all calls that don’t show a legit number on caller ID roll over to voice mail. On the rare occasion I pick one up, if a live human doesn’t respond in 3 seconds I hang up.
A lot of our friends and especially the friends of our kids have cell phones only. Not that many of them will vote if they can’t text it in, but it is a consideration....
How are the polling companies taking all the people in the above categories into account?
His blackness appears to be getting him 94% of 12.6% of the population (African-Americans) which is 11.28% so his “blackness” is an asset worth at least 5.28%.
Hey GERGEN, two can play your braindead evil game...
loosing 6 pts ‘eh? Does that mean the Democrats are RAAAAAAAAAAACIST? I think he looses 6 pts because of his ASSHOLYNESS!
Hey GERGEN, two can play your brain-dead evil game.(except we have a hard time saying such bulls-it with a straight face...
