Truly, the only hardcore racists that I've met have all been Democrats. My wife's Aunt and Uncle (committed Dems, both of them) gave me the advice when my wife and I were buying a house to stay away from neighborhoods with lots of (quote) "Niggers. Because they're shiftless and will steal you blind.".

Sounds like many of the Democrats in my family. Remember, however, that many of these folks will become "McCain Democrats" simply on the racial issue alone.

Yep. I'm looking forward to watching a number of my in-laws bend over backwards looking for reasons NOT to vote for Obama.

Or, what I figure is less provable but more likely...that they'll keep their mouths shut, their wallets buttoned up, and just vote for McCain in the general election.
