"I'm not being sarcastic at all. White liberals don't vote for black candidates for high office. They just don't, and there is plenty of evidence for it. How many blacks are in the US Senate? Where were the high-ranking blacks in the Clinton Administration?"
Well, they're putting Obama on a pedestal, aren't they? I get the feeling they want folks in Illinois to think "If you're not voting for Obama, then you must be racist" as a tactic.
By the way, does anyone have any poll information on the Senate race there? Does the Republican have a chance of winning?
There is no Republican candidate at this time! Jack Ryan had to drop out and the recruitment of Ditka failed. The GOP in Illinois is a sad state of affairs.
