I don't agree that all politics is racial. It wouldn't matter who the democrats threw up there- they are always the academician. We were fooled once about Jimmy Carter being a Jacksonian. Still trying to figure out how Clinton got elected- except maybe people thought he was a Jacksonian in the way that he fought the "personal attacks".

I've always told the people that I work with- they are all Obamaniacs- that I would be voting as a security mom. They know that he does not fit this need- so they immediately shut up and leave me alone.

I've always told the people that I work with- they are all Obamaniacs- that I would be voting as a security mom.

Can you give me any persuasive reason, other than Obama's race, that explains why he has been nominated?

I am sure you do feel that you are voting as a security mom and by the following question I do not mean to impugn your integrity. Let us suppose, however, that you were opposed to Obama because he has been nominated only because he is black and that apart from his race he is utterly unqualified to become president of the United States of America.

Would you under these circumstances be to any degree uneasy about telling your colleagues flatly that you will be voting against Obama because he is an unqualified black man, nominated only because he is black?

I confess I would be uneasy in that situation.
