Despite his incredible charm and charisma, I think Obama is the candidate that the Republicans will want to face in 2008. The dims will be hampered by a problem that they don’t even want to admit exists. That problem is the brown-on-black racism in the Hispanic community and the covert recism of the dixiecrats in their ranks. Recently I saw an old dixiecrat experience a “cracker attack”, livid over the possibility of a black man heading the dim ticket. Fun to watch.
He never admitted it, but he either did not vote that election, or he voted Republican.
