So, to David Gergen, we could make even more progress if Obama is elected? But, if Obama loses, it is because of racism. Please.

MSNBC exit polls during the Democratic primaries showed that among those questioned in AR, MS, WV, and I believe PA, race did play a factor in how some voted. But, it was Democrats who stated that race played a factor in how they voted, not Republicans.

So, are Democrat Sebelius, Quasi-Democrat David Gergen, Jack Cafferty and even Barack Obama using race-baiing tactics?

Sebelius and Gergen really sound like they are using race-baiting tactics.

Obama is on record as saying that Republicans are going to say "did I mention he's black?" and that Obama doesn't look like those on paper currency. Race-Baiting?

Link to what CNN's Jack Cafferty said below.

Jack Cafferty: "Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it's one that nobody's talking about... Yet the polls remain close. Doesn't make sense...unless it's race."

Gergen is an idiot and, having sold himself to the highest bidder on multiple occasions, a WHORE!!

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.

"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.

Gergen is admitting that democrats are racists. Certainly he doesn't expect Republicans to vote for a liberal dem, so for us it's a party/ideology thing. Democrats, OTOH, should be true to their party but they won't because they cannot vote for the black guy.

It's about time somebody in the MSM called democrats on their racism.

No, I blame racism for Obama even being in the race. If black folks didn’t automatically vote for him at a 90+% rate, he would be a footnote in history.

Only two times politicians get that high a vote: dictators with no opponent in the election and Republicans in Utah.

With a 100% ADA rating, only an ignorant Republican would think of voting for him if he was white, so whatever racism there is, is in the Democrat Party, -—especially among its Liberals.

In my dream, I see some youthful demonstrator walking up to Gergen and slamming him in the face with a pie just as he is about to make another of his absurd, self-ingratiating statements. Then I wake up and wonder if that demonstrator took the time to kick Cafferty in the balls on the way out. Such is the nature of dreams, I guess... :)

“Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it’s one that nobody’s talking about... Yet the polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense...unless it’s race.”

How about blaming it on the “smart” voters that are leary of a radical, white hating wife, Michelle, junior Senator, with Jeremiah Wright, Farrakhan, Father Phleger, Ayers....he calls friends. Yeah....it;s race....race to see Obama done for and no more!!!

Good Lord! I am so sick of hearing about how us redneck whites won’t vote for a black guy or gal. It’s total B.S. Give me Michele Steele and I would crawl over broken glass to support him!

Then I guess our new mantra will be:

“If people don’t vote for McCain/Palin, then they are clearly sexist.”
