Biden: Voters "having a difficult time" electing first African American president
abcnews.com ^ | 10/19/08 | Matthew Jaffe

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing "vicious" and "dangerous" attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are "having a difficult time" opting for the man who would become the nation's first African American president.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

"You see these vicious attacks on Barack's character," Biden told supporters. "I mean, this is dangerous stuff these guys are doing. This stuff is on the edge. It's on the edge. You know, there's some folks out there in the community nationwide that aren't as stable as others. It's a very small minority. But having these rallies where people are showing up saying, you know, the things they're saying - I don't even want to repeat them -- it's not a healthy thing."

Voters have a hard time electing a liar, fraud, enabler of racists and anti-Semites, and would-be dictator. The problem isn’t Obama’s skin, it is what is inside.

I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2000 NJ Rep. Primary. Truth be told, I didn’t even think twice about it!

If Obama was white he’d lose more states than Dukakis.

Any voter with a pulse knows that.

I would vote for Michael Steele
I would vote for Lynn Swan
I would vote for JC Watts
I would vote for Ken Blackwell
No problem, any day - IT'S BECAUSE WHAT THEY BELIEVE!!!

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR BHO BECAUSE OF WHAT HE BELIEVES AND THE CON HE PROPAGATES!

I can't STAND that we vote for him BECAUSE he's the 'first black' as if it's just for the novelty or nobility of the idea!

Nope Anti-Joe, we’re having a hard time electing the first serial foot-in-mouth gaffer as VP, who might end up inheriting the Presidency just as well as Governor Palin might end up inheriting the Presidency.

People are having a hard time picking him because of who he is, his lack of qualifications, his associations, his past, his bullying and intimidation of those who try to speak out about him, etc.

I just got off the phone with my Democrat sister and she confessed she was going to vote for McCain, but mark the rest of her ticket Democrat, basically for all the reasons I stated above. She said, "He scares me".

I'm so happy. She hasn't voted Republican in 8 years.

My next step is to help her figure out the rest of her San Antonio/Tx area ticket. Does anyone here have info on a sample ballot from San Antonio? I would like to help her if I can.

We forget that all of those qualified Americans you just listed aren’t black. They are “uncle Tom’s” who are traitors to their color because they believe in CONSERVATIVE principles.

AA’s cannot be anything but Democrats! Its required by their skin color and liberal whites /s!!!!

Michael Reagan’s been predicting the timeline for how this campaign reacts for awhile now. Interesting stuff.

A caller called in to talk radio to remind people regarding Rendell’s comment about Western PA being racist that Western PA overwhelmingly went for Rendell’s opponent - who happened to be a black conservative. Unfortunately, he lost to Rendell. It would appear that for Western PA, at least, the race is about issues and nothing else.
