I’m not sure there was much of an ideological difference b/w 0bama and Hillary.
I was actually talking to one of my cousins who hails from Ohio (and his whole family lives there). They all voted for Hillary in the primary, but are voting for McCain in the general. I can’t help but think 0bama’s color has something to do with it.
“They all voted for Hillary in the primary, but are voting for McCain in the general. I can’t help but think 0bama’s color has something to do with it.”
Perhaps, but your not taking into account Obama’s lengthy associations with domestic terrorist groups and Black Liberation Theology. I think you should give your cousin and his family a little more credit than that
I don't know. If I was the run of the mill commie/socialist, I'd be pretty peeved that my experienced flag carrier, Hillary!, (who had been in the front-lines to tear down Nixon, had tried to Nationalize Health care ... all the sort of things that make me go tingly...), was dumped for some Zero who had done nothing but had been born with a slightly darker shade of skin than Hillary! -- I might be a bit miffed to the point that I wouldn't vote for the anointed one during the General Election.
And being the run of the mill commie/socialist - and not being all that God-fearing, I might still have my eyebrows raised a wee bit when I read some things about that racist church which the chosen one attended in Chicago for some 20 years...
Anyways, I just mean to say that your left wing kin might have deeper/varied reasons as to why they aren't voting Obama - and instead are choosing to vote for someone who had least showed Hillary! some modicum of respect over these past few years.
No doubt, for some number of people, like twenty million Black people. But really, Kennedy became president because he looked better than Nixon on TV. Bill Clinton won because women are suckers for sociopaths. The potential irrationality of the electorate is cause for sober reflection. This is why poorly educated and ill-informed ignorant voters should be discouraged from voting--to lower the level of error in the returns.
