... David Gergen told about 600 guests attending a dinner at the University of Oklahoma on Wednesday that John McCain and Barack Obama are locked in a virtual tie and the Republicans could pull off an upset.

"Race has, and is, the big gorilla in the room that you can't get around," Gergen said. "We have made a lot of progress but we're not there yet. It gives alot of unpredictability to what we do."

Doesn’t Gergen understand that Obama is a socialist

Forget Gergen. He's the cheapest political whore in Washington. He'll say anything for the highest bidder, who appears to be the leftwing a-hole this time.

But, if Obama loses, it is because of racism. Please.

They are not trying to make pre-emptive excuses for losing. They are attempting to intimidate in advance the feeble-willed, uncommitted voter, who doesn't want to be a "racist" oh horrors, -- to insure victory.

It has been well known for some time that David Gergen is also a Socialist in supports people like the O.

He is one we should throw out of the party.

My thoughts exactly, although I couldn't have phrased them half so eloquently.

Yeah, if he weren’t black,he wouldn’t be in the race. He is way above his pay grade. Go back to the senate and make some money.

"We have made a lot of progress [on race] but we're not there yet.

Blacks vote 90+ percent for liberal black candidates. On the negative side whites still vote up to 60 or 70 percent for white candidates, obvious racism.

I think that is what Gergen means.

Gergen is America's Talleyrand; he does not care whose side he is on so long as he is in a power position.

It is no wonder that Napoleon I referred to Talleyrand to his face as "Sh*t in a silk stocking".

Not to be judgemental or anything.

Race IS the biggest issue in this campaign. Most Americans would LOVE to elect a black man or a woman as president. Problem is Obama is unelectable because of his extremism and utter lack of a track record in anything other than graft.
By statistical analysis only 6% of whites wold not vote for a black man. This is more than offset by in excess of 90% of blacks who will vote for any black person regardless of any other factor.
Why is Obaqma not a runaway? Because he can not be trusted.

No, David. Obama is a dope who can’t make any sense without a teleprompter. Color is not the issue.

Does anyone really think Gergen has anything to add to the discussion?

Democrats and their excuses:

2000: Gore won, Bush stole election with help of Supreme Court and hanging chads.

2004: Kerry won, Bush stole election with help of Diebold voting machines.

2008: Racists!

There’s just one problem here Mr. Gergen. Republicans and conservatives have their usual reasons to avoid voting for Obama. But there aren’t enough cons and pubs to elect McCain. If Obama loses due to racism, it will have to be due to independent and/or Democrat racism. Put that on your forehead and comb it over.
