Indeed, the excuses do begin!!!

Over the past two weeks, I have observed no fewer than ten "news" articles offering preemptive racial reasons for whites shifting in high numbers to the GOP column. Of course, when McCain/Palin win, the whites, not ideological differences, will be the cause heralded from all the liberals and their news outlets.

Did you notice the end of this writer's article? He listed the past few elections and the percentage of white votes.

Writers like this one are sooooooooo transparent, aren't they?

My sister from Michigan, who is a huge Hillary Obama supporter, was working on me the other day. She was trying to convince me that I really have to vote for Obama, even if I don't support him on the issues, because an Obama victory will be a huge step toward racial reconciliation in this country and we can't let this "historical" opportunity slip through our fingers.

She went on and on about how Obama and McCain's position was minor, too small to even mention, on issue after issue, that the overriding concern in this election had to be race, and that anybody but a knuckle-dragging racist had no choice but to vote for Obama in November.

I asked her who she supported in the primaries (not that it matters, since she is in Michigan), and she said "Hillary". She more or less accepted my position after that.
