This average white voter sure does. . . .
This one too, but the black vote is Obama’s only hope of victory. There are plenty of blacks who would vote for McCain if Obama wasn’t also on the ballot (and the first black nominee for a major party). And plenty of blacks who don’t usually bother to vote at all who would get off their duffs to vote for black candidate for President who actually has a chance of winning. Both groups would be seriously turned off by Edwards, and the McCain campaign would certainly exploit that — and the Silky Pony always serves up plenty of ammunition on a silver platter, so an opponent doesn’t even need to get his hands dirty by “digging up dirt”.
