Default Cafferty: Obama: Race a factor?

Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it's one that nobody's talking about.

The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn't be more well-defined. Obama wants to change Washington. McCain is a part of Washington and a part of the Bush legacy. Yet the polls remain close. Doesn't make sense


…unless it's race.

This is eactly why CNN and it's affiliates are struggling. This is why the NYT is losing circulation. This is also a common tactic of the Left.

Attempt to marginalize and browbeat with the Race/Gender/Age/ Sexual Orientation Card.

I resent it coming from the Left OR the Right....this is also the reason I believe that the Left is going to wake up shell shocked the day after the Election.

We all knew the "Race Card" was coming... Nobama was bound to use it. Since the lying S.O.B is half White,,,What ever shall he do?

Just what we need in the White House as the "Leader"...

Well I am certainly not going to vote for Barry, I happen to think freedom and liberty is something I have yet to grow tired of, so I won't be voting for the Marxist. But for the record. When I vote against him I will be voting against his white half.

You know, I'll step up to the plate here and just register disgust with my own side when it comes to not acknowledging the excitement we feel over Obama's color.

I'll be the first to admit his skin color was a big reason I endorsed him so strongly as a candidate, and I wish more of my fellow liberals could do the same.

There's no shame in that. I can't think of a more thrilling sign of progressive triumph than finally seating someone besides a white male in the oval office. It means we're winning.

You know, it's funny, I have dozens of liberal friends (I'm an independent), and not one of them has ever brought up race in the probably hundreds of conversations I've had with them about the presidential election. Sometimes these have been heated conversations, arguments, or arguments with conservatives. In fact, I've only heard conservatives bring up the race card.

I wonder why this is?

Excellent observation. His White side is just as dumb and ill informed as his Black. Good point!

He's worthless from both perspectives.

Maybe because no one cares?

Really?

I thought it was the imploding economy and the global war.


But....yeah....Obama is black...that is enormously important.

Your rulers have nothing to worry about.
