“Can you say ‘bradley factor little rat’?”
What if all polls are wrong, as they have been in previous campaigns, because the media is oversampling Democrats to depress the Republican turnout?
This article and many more that will appear like it are a blatant attempt at guilt tripping whitey into voting for Obama so that they won’t look like or think of themselves as racist. And I’m sure some gullible citizens will fall for it. Of course the fact that Obama is a Marxist liberal is totally ignored in the equation as to who to vote for, or his total lack of experience in foreign affairs during dangerous times (witness Georgia/Russia war that sprang up out of nowhere), or that Obama is an elitist, black liberation theology weaned, professorial waffler with no backbone. No, we are all racists, don’t you know. These liberal rags and news commentators make me sick.
If I agreed with only 50% of what Obama stands for, I’d vote for him rather than McCain. But the reality is, I agree with 45% of what McCain stands for and 0% of what Obama stands for.
I guess that makes me a typical bitter white person.
It is only going to get worse.
McCain Ping... Interesting read here. We could be further ahead than we thought.
Obama would be wise to have his surrogates shut up about race.
If he thinks he is going to shame white folks into voting for him because he is a black man then he is greatly mistaken. This kind of talk just pisses people off. White conservatives have supported black men like J.C. Watts. He couldn’t have won without that support.
Martin Luther King was a Republican

White Democratic voters, OTOH, . . .
What if all polls are wrong? I’d be asking “What if all polls are right?”
When is the last time that August polls accurately portrayed the outcome of a November election?
Somehow I will just have to learn to live with myself after I acknowledge that I am a racist and vote against Obama.

Forget the polls, this election hinges on new voter turnout. If millions of new black, Latino and young voters DO show up in November then McCain’s in trouble. If they don’t, McCain stands a decent chance at an upset.
''I did all I could,'' the man told Jackson ruefully, ''but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the lever and vote for you.''
L. Douglas Wilder laughs as he relates the story Jackson once told him,
Gimme a break. I don't believe it.
It has nothing to do with race. It is about electing a guy that is all style and no substance; all sizzle and no steak. Not enough experience to be VP nevermind POTUS...
Imagine if it were Condi Rice or Colin Powell as the nominee for the Republicans. Would people be accused of not voting for one of them due to race? Their race wouldn’t even enter my mind. What is important is their stance on the issues... I’d much rather have a black conservative (ex. Powell) than a white liberal (ex. John Edwards).
Not likely (witness Kookcinich).
Must I go to church and confess to my priest that I'm white?
