A new AP-Yahoo News poll finds that white Democrats’ resistance to voting for a black man for President could cost Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama the White House: Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them “lazy,” “violent” or responsible for their own troubles. The poll, conducted with Stanford University, suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 — about two and one-half percentage points.

But then aren’t you also a sexist if you don’t vote for McCain and Palin? Or does Palin not count because she’s not liberal?
Have there been any articles exploring the racism of black voters? They are overwhelmingly choosing Obama because of his race.
I guess that’s not a problem.
No surprise here, just part of the overall strategy from the beginning. It’s used every time. Only now, there aren’t as many guilty whites as there used to be, so this tactic could fail big time.
Did the poll determine if those ‘negative’ views towards blacks had real reasons behind them? There’s a reason why I don’t go around certain parts of town - I am not safe there - and neither is anyone else.
Heck Democrats vote 90%+ for any Democrat anyway.
Jesse Jackson is there with some tweezers.. so watch your bleep Obama.
I dunno................a new code for the South? After all, we are all racists south of the Mason-Dixon line dontchaknow.
The white Dems are OK with a white president who was the first black president. With the blacks, who are about 12% of the US population, committing about 75% of American crimes, it is pretty logical to make inferences about the whole population.
My wife has an elderly aunt that has been very active in the Dim party her whole life. She said she won’t vote Obama, but can’t bring herself to push the button for a Republican, so she is going to sit this one out.
yes the excuse making has begun. Of course it must be someone else’s fault.
This is the REAL theme of the Obama campaign right from the beginning:
DON’T BLAME ME, IT’S SOMEONE ELSE’S FAULT.
Make a campaign poster of Barry with that mantra and you’ve got their campaign theme down pat.
Lets take a poll of blacks and their perceptions of whites.
So that`s their plan if Hussein loses?
Call America racist?
To much to simply admit Hussein was an extreme radical far to the left, so far the National Journal rated him the worst leftist in the Senate.
Here we go (you knew it was coming)....
Never mind that someone like Colin Powell might have won in a landslide if he had run for president.
And never mind that at least 90% of blacks will vote for Obama (including Oprah Winfrey)....primarily because he’s black...but, uh, that’s not racism.
Dukakis lost because of the Willie Horton ad...
Gore lost because Katherine Harris wouldn't count all the votes...
yada...yada...yada...
And now the obamessiah will lose because of racism...
rats will NEVER concede the real reasons for their losses: their hatred for Christianity and Capitalism.
News to me! Why didn't somebody tell me?
According to many, she’s not a woman.
