No one could have won against a saintly American-African, no one!

I understand where you're coming from but I do not agree. Race had less to do with it than that, otherwise Alan West would still be a Congressman.

Obama has managed to get the majority of the nation either on public assistance or working for the government.

Public sector vs Private Sector.

It's socialism more than Race.

See my #34. The low turnout (51%?) had to do with race and voters not wanting to vote AGAINST, in my opinion.

No, because Allen West isn't even viewed as black by other blacks. His conservatism makes him a whole 'nother animal.

Blacks, as well as whites who are eaten up with guilt and self hatred, just couldn't bring themselves to vote against Obama.

Race DID have something to do with Allen West’s losing: black conservatives must be defeated at all costs.
