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

Nothing, that's exactly what it points to.
