Remember guys, if Obama doesn't get elected it is because all white people are racist.

Well you lost my respect Obama, and I actually liked you.

It would play better if the GOP didn't mention it. There is enough to play with without having to resort to race. Also, I think the Dems automatically think that way because it is what they would do.Turquoise wrote:
If you don't think race will play a big part in the GOP's gameplan, you're quite naive.

Unfortunately, stressing Obama's black appearance and Muslim sounding name could help the GOP win the South. We have a lot of ignorant idiots.imortal wrote:

Do you remember the campaign of Bob Corker? You know, the guy running for Tennessee senator for the GOP. Well, it just so happened that his opponent, Harold Ford, Jr. was black. So, Corker ran a campaign suggesting that Ford had a thing for messing around with white women.usmarine2 wrote:

Unless I hear some Fuzzy quotes, no dice.
Hmmm...actually, I thought, and the stats may be old, but white and black were close to 50/50 in that state.Turquoise wrote:

Look at the Census chart for both 2000 and 2005 figures on the same wiki page. That's what matters.usmarine2 wrote:

81% white, 17% black
"In 2000, the five most common self-reported ethnic groups in the state were: American (17.3%), African American (16.4%), Irish (9.3%), English (9.1%), and German (8.3%)."
or maybe I just read it wrong.

If they're willing to make race an issue for a Senate race, what makes you think they wouldn't with the presidency?usmarine2 wrote:

Your point is false. "Obama's Baby Mama", is what Michelle refers to herself...Home wrote:
What's the big deal, are you denying that the GOP will play the race card? It's pretty obvious that they will probably use race somewhere in the race, hell, you've already got Fox News calling Michelle Obama "Obama's Baby Mama."
