A Freeper said it before. If B. Hussein Obama is not elected because he is black, it will be because of racist democrats, not republicans. Republicans will not be voting for the democrat to begin with...

if not for his melanin levels

I saw some Obama TV commercials early on that showed is white grandparents. I don't think that the Obama campaign wants to highlight his "white" side. He is after all 1/2 white and being raised in Indonesia and Hawaii I can't believe that he had problems because of the color of his skin. In fact most Hawaiians I know are darker than Barry!

I don't think any of the LOSER media could even bring up the prospect of any other reason than race, for people not voting for NOBAMA.

You see, if they actually brought up any of the other REAL possibilities, they might cause the clueless sheep in the middle to actually check out what they were referring to!

America will never be ready for a president that hates her.

If Obama were white, he wouldn’t be the candidate!! The media would not have “nominated” him and the Chicago machine would not have created him. Other than that, the author got this part right on the money!

the only way I would ever vote for him would be if someone was holding a loaded gun to the head of my wife or one of our children.

That's the only way The Marxist Messiah would get my vote, that is if my wife or our kids were threatened with harm.

t beltThose Good Old Boys who reside in the deep south and by day are well respected upstanding bulwarks of society but turn into cross burnin' night riders on a Friday night. His ship is going to be torpedoed by white democrats.

The south isn't the problem for McCain, he will sweep the former Confederacy states plus KY, although FL and VA are on the fence at the moment. It's the so-called battleground states and the rust belt where Obama's star is suddenly rising and McCain is now in deep trouble. The MSM sees this economic disaster as a gift falling out of Heaven itself and is going all out in wall to wall coverage drumming it into the subliminal minds of the voters. They know that the people in many of those states are fools enough to believe that the Democrats are better at managing the economy than the Pubs, and they will play that up to the max right up to Nov 4. When all is said and done, the state of the economy is almost always the deciding factor in how the majority votes, and the MSM will make sure that it remains that way this time.

Frankly, as much as I hate to even allow myself to think this, I believe McCain is screwed by the timing of this economic breakdown, and for the first time in the campaign I now believe Obama will be the next president. As if the economic situation isn't bad enough, our nation's troubles are about to be compounded by Obama and his party's disastrous policies on almost every issue that faces us, the most important being national security. God help us, PLEASE.

“There is a significant group of people who just won’t vote for a black candidate. Period,”

Or, like me, they don’t want to put a snot-nosed rookie in the White House during these troubling times, especially when said rookie is probably going to be virtually untouchable as far as criticism.

This racism BS is going to cause a major headache if Obama loses. I predict that the first few years after a McCain victory will be spent trying to prove/disprove racism (depending on which party we’re talking about).

Yes, America is ready for a black president but not Barack “the long legged Mac Daddy” Obama.

You misunderstood me or I didn't make myself clear enough. It's the white Dems from all areas and regions of the country that will DOOM Obama. The Dixiecrats of the South will vote McCain but so will the whites in other parts of the nation from the Dem party! Anyplace that isn't locked into a liberal mindset or controlled by the mindless extreme liberals is going to get in that booth and .... blink.
