It Was Only A Matter Of Time!!!  

What the study doesn't seem to realize is that current polls don't magically avoid polling people who may fall into that category. If they can cost Obama up to 2.5%, then what that's actually saying is that Obama should be polling up to 2.5% BETTER than he already is. And since the latest round of national polls show him ahead...he's ahead. Any effect that would have is already in there.

And before you claim "well, people could feel that way but not be willing to admit to a pollster", well, the percentage of primary cell phone users (mostly young voters), who are going to be mostly for Obama, don't get polled at ALL by these pollsters, and that group easily cancels the other group out (if it doesn't override it), imo.

It's his own fault, as I said before, he is of 3 heritages, it was the perfect oportunity to run for pres. as a multi-national-heritage man. HE chose to say right from the beginning, that he is running as a black man. Right there HE made the decision to keep up the color division. It was one of the first things he said, and one of the strongest statements too.
Now, stereotyping is wrong, but the fact is, many people still do it.
Obama keeps saying he's going to bring the country together, but how, HE is perpetuating the division by color just as much as any backwoods redneck. (No offense to rednecks, just illustrating a point)
HE is making this election about race. Not us. His choice, not mine.
If you say anything against Obama automatically you are a racist, even if the statement has no bearing on race or color. He is causing more friction between the color than anything any single person has done in the past 30 years.
I'm not saying he should deny any part of his heritage, in fact, I'm sayig the opposite: he just should have given tham all equal play, it would have been a better strategy if nothing else.

We all knew this would come if the election was close, and let us not forget sometime in October the U.N is going to tour America to study racism. America will be viewed as a racist country if Obama loses, no two ways about that. To me Obama is a lefty and I would not vote for him just like I would not vote for Kerry, Gore, or Clinton. Kerry, Gore, and Clinton were white so did I vote against them because I have a distrust of white people no because I have a distrust of liberals. Now the big question will those Democrats that will vote for McCain, how will they be tarred as racist. Of course will can throw the racist comment right back at them. Take for instance the 2006 Senator race in Maryland Republican Michael S. Steele who is black vs Democrat Ben Cardin who is white. Did Steele lose because of racist white Democrats would not vote for a black man?

rodney, that possibility has been at the back of my mind since the beginning. In spite of what people say there is an undercurrent of racism in a lot of their minds. It's not a popular belief to own in today's world, no one wants to own their tendency to discriminate based on race. It is not considered "politically
correct" in most circles. But if there was no such undercurrent then programs such as affrimative action would not be deemed necessary by those who support them. Add to that Obama's latest ad targeting Mexican Americans specifically, I think Obama is setting the nation up for those riots that people are predicting when he loses the election. Here is a link for the ad:

His race was actually what drew me to him as possibly getting my vote because I was very interested in change and getting away from all the republican mistakes made in the past 8 years. After researching him myself, not accepting the media's opinion of him, I began to realise this was not a person I would want as president but I was still feeling pretty safe with the Democrats as I always had Hillary Clinton to vote for as I thought Bill Clinton was an excellent president, maybe she would more like him, so all was well. That happy thought was quickly dispelled when she did not get the nomination. Then..... as I became more aware of all the rumors, secrets and skeletons in Obama's background I bought both his books to see if there was anyway I could see what the real man was behind the "empty suit". Boy oh boy I got more than I bargained for!! There is no way in this world Obama would get my vote. I am now convinced he would just be a puppet controlled by the enemies of the USA. However as this is just my opinion I do hope I will not be subject to any more insults from his supporters as I have experienced in the past couple of weeks here on myLot.

Race is not the issue that they are trying to make it out to be... Obama has no business being president simply because he has no clue about reality. He is running for himself, and not for the good of the country.

I could care less what his race is... what I do care about is whether or not a candidate shares my political beliefs.

Obama does not even come close to representing mainstream America, and has should himself to be an out of touch elitist who cannot relate to the average American.

The only reason they are playing the race card is because they know he does not measure up on the issues, therefore they try to portray political opposition as racism since they have no other argument.

Black, white, purple, or green. I don't care what color Obama is, I would not vote for him because he doesn't have a clue. He isn't doing this for the benefit of our country. He is doing it for the benefit of HIM! And no I am not racist. My granddaughter is mixed race. I just don't like Obama and is ideals. I think he will do this country irreparable harm.

That was indeed an interesting article Thank You however i must say it is so easy to blame something when one is not successful I also vote for the man or woman that i believe in regardless of race,colour or creed and that is about it Time will tell but with a government in debt in the trillions what can i say Once apon a time we talked in millions it has now become trillions What is our world coming to Good Luck and May the best man win

If Obama loses the election it is because of race and here is what is sad about it. Everyone including repbulicans agree we need change, no question, and if Obama was a white man offering the type of change he is then everyone would be voting for him. White america would rather suffer 8 more years of hardship than to vote for a black man. Even professors and scholars have said the next 8 years is scary under the republican rule but are unwilling to step forth and support the democratic party. The real reason is race and that is the bottom line.

Well if it were because of racism than I think America is a stupid country..
I mean get rid of racism, it is useless..
But who knows :D MMaybe he will win or lose, we'll have to wait ^^

Have a nice day..
