Poll: White Democrats’ Racism Could Cost Obama White House
The Moderate Voice ^ | sept 20,2008 | JOE GANDELMAN

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.

Hey Donald Trump, Obama is calling you a racist because you are endorsing McCain.

The President of the United States is NOT an Affirmative Action position.

Well Obviously racism is on all sides, and I think Obama is playing the "RACE CARD" to make voters feel guilty if they do not vote for him, even if they think he is not qualified to be President, has no experience and is way too liberal for their views.

Is Joe Lieberman a racist because he is not voting for Obama

If Obama wins it will be because of racism.

I do believe you hit the nail on the head, counterpunch.

that makes far more sense than blaming racists after they lose.

let’s hope Rush is listening.

How about a poll: Do you Favor Socialism or Capitalism for the United States?

Wasn't Geraldine Ferraro called racist for making similar comments.

Let's see. Reasons to vote against NObama:

A) He's Black
B) He the most Liberal Sinator
C) Judgment — i.e. Rev. Wrong

“B” & “C” are reasons for me to be against NObama!

Of course, the Media will say it is Door “A” is the reason. That we're all RACIST if Boy Wonder loses!

....That is Ludicrous and an Racist Poll, ..

Racist yes, ludicrous no. Where I live, there are more than just a few Dems who have stated that they will not vote for a black man. Just sayin.

So apparently, given that 95% of African American’s are voting against Senator McCain, there are more black bigots, percentage wise, than white bigots.

No doubt there are racists out there. But the kind of person who wouldn’t vote for a 1/2 black man probably wouldn’t vote for a woman either.

I was thinking the same thing. That sort of voter would have voted for Hillary! though, because it would have meant getting Bubba back in the WH.

At least, we are spared that...maybe.

When all is said and done more blacks percentage wise will vote for Obama than Whites vote for McClain and you can bet on it.I am white and if a Conservative black ran for President I would vote for him or her.

“Obama will lose not because he is almost black, but because he is too liberal, too egotistical, too elistist, lacks experience, is a baby killer, has shady connections, and sat in the pew of a Church that preached Hate toward Whites and Hate toward America for 20 years.”

You are too kind to the Senator. “Too liberal”? In plain language he is a communist, with terrorist friends.

I could name five or ten black people I could vote for for president with a smile on my face, off the top of my head; Barrack Oinkbama simply isn’t one of them.

The goal is to intimidate America into voting for 0bama or face the consequences, ...

I will accept the possible short term consequences (rioting)over the certain long term consequences (a quantum leap deeper into proto-communism).
