But now that he has hit a wall with many voters on legitimate issues, race does matter, his supporters claim.

I think everyone knew this would be the case if Obama ever stumbled in the polls. He's gifted speaker, but trots out the same old policies to address new problems (e.g., a windfall profits tax on oil companies). He has no clue about economics or the policies necessary to address today's problems. As a Freeper's byline said: "All turban, no goats".

There are more color blind conservatives than color blind liberals. The stereo type is that the liberals/Democrats are tolerant and color blind. Conservatives sure seem more willing to support or oppose candidates and issues based on merits, not race. I can honestly say I oppose Obama because he’s waaaaaay too liberal / socialist to me. Has nothing to do with race.
