The post racial candidate's folks can't get over the race thing, tolerant folks that they are.

BTW, this is an outstanding idea, best idea since McNamara's absurd Project 100,000.

I want to see Harvard populated by the dumbest, and Ameican Corporations run by known unachievers.

The authors job is safe.

Obama’s solution? give them robert downey jr makeovers, fake their birth certificates, and include them in for ‘reparations’. /s

I’m pretty sure that “low-income whites” are too busy clinging to their Bibles and guns to care about anything B. Hussein Obama has to say.

Yeah, cracker reparations! A winning issue if ever I heard one! Throw in a couple of free scratch-off tickets and it’s a sure thing.

It’s a lie to say that Obama “really, really doesn’t want his campaign to be about race.” That is ALL he wants it to be!!

How Obama can woo low income whites...

Easy, buy 'em. That's what this is all about, really. Remember when you heard someone say that when the people learn they can vote themselves largess from the treasury the Republic was finished?

Race will be central to this campaign because McCain needs it to be. He simply doesn't have many other cards to play.

What utter nonsense. At Saddleback McCain showed that experience indeed DOES matter without bringing up race once.

Notre Dame political scientist David Leege estimates that 17 to 19 percent of white Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents will resist voting for Obama because he is black.

if this is even remotely accurate..Obama loses...

He’d probably give them some of his supporters to lynch after the election if he thought he could get their votes.

But the press tells us that only Republicans can be racists, so how can this be?

Oh, for cryin’ out loud - he was using his race and his ‘funny name’ routine when he was campaigning downstate for the Illinois Senate in the 90’s. I’ve read more than one article from the 90’s on it (which is why I always go for the older articles first - they aren’t watered down).

I also read that it seemed to have worked for Illinois. The problem, as we all know, is that it’s not working for mainstream America.

Give me a break.

OK, what am I missing?

Think about it this way: Many of the voters who right now won't vote for Obama because he's black would probably vote for Colin Powell even though he's black.

Doesn't that sort of prove the point that people are against Hussein Obama for reasons of policy, not race? How do liberals manage to get EVERYTHING BASSACWARDS??

And what about those Democrats that have tried to run on policy rather than 'symbolism'? First, symbols are important. Second, who are they to define what is policy and what is not? Third, even granting this statement, does it cross their minds that their policies might have been rejected by the voters? No, it doesn't

> And it’s a major reason that this election — despite Obama’s myriad advantages — remains close.

Why would an elitist Socialist “Citizen of the World” who never misses an opportunity to insert foot in mouth not be able to blow away his opponent?

Racism!

"author's job is safe"

Peter Beinart is considered by some conservatives (NR-Online)to be a fairly level-headed lib. Judging by the howlers in this article, he must be using heavy drugs. The brown acid? So according to this genius McCain will very shortly be making direct comments about Obama being multi-ethnic because really, what else can McCain do Obama is such a perfect candidate? Unbelievable.
