Wow, Mary got up on the wrong side of the bed. Am I confusing her with another columnist, or is she TUCC member and Rev Wright fan? I wouldn't label as racist every white Democrat who switched to McCain after Hillary Clinton was dispatched, but acting as though racial prejudice no longer exists in this country is also wrong. Obama tries to avoid talking about race, as do his surrogates, staffers and supporters.

Of course you would Mary, in fact that label is what you’re threatening white democrats. You know perfectly well there’s no evidence of a substantial shift of dems to McCain. As to avoiding talking about race, I know what you mean, McCain stating Barry doesn’t look like the Presidents on our currency, and that Barry doesn’t look lake previous Americans who’ve addressed crowds in Europe (like Powell and Rice), that McCain guy is always bringing it up.

Voting pattern ignored He could put his birth certificate and his baptismal papers on his Web site, and some will still argue that he is a Muslim.

The birth certificate would be a very good idea. So would his draft registration. I have to provide those things when I apply for a jog. His application to the Illinois Bar would be nice too. As would his medical records. This never sweating thing is odd. Besides, Republican candidates release all this stuff, your guy could break the Kerry-Clinton tradition.

Using code words and nasty attack ads, the McCain camp might as well have called Obama an "uppity black."

I think arrogant and elitist fit better. Black is irrelevant, Edwards is arrogant and elitist too. Arrogant, elitist Democrat is much better.

Voters there said Cindy McCain -- a former drug addict and thief -- better fits their idea of a first lady than Michelle Obama, someone who has not had a hint of scandal attached to her name….How does that make any sense?

Makes complete sense to me. Cindy has dealt with her problems and is an accomplished woman. Michelle is a highly paid “outreach” attorney of sorts whose salary doubled when her husband became a Senator, able to bring home the pork for her employer. Her whines about having to repay her student loans aside, she doesn’t appear to have accomplished much with her law degree. Probably too busy in that $300,000 garden she acquired via the Mrs. Rezko deal.

Like her husband, Michelle Obama has spent a great deal of time trying to convince white independent voters that she is not "unpatriotic" and "angry."

I have an idea, don’t act unpatriotic and angry, you’ll have nothing to explain!
