Republicans don't need to play the race card.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

As much as I'd like to see a change in the guard (I've grown to detest Republicans, even the fact I was a former); as much as I'd like to see social progress; I don't see Obama winning.

Why would this matter? Obama's a white guy.

I do. If the current state polls hold, Obama will win by 8 electoral votes.

But, those are just polls. We'll see what happens. 2000 all over again? Who wants to bet?

Pure genius...

In a poll of white dems, you're wondering if blacks were factored in.

No, Barack Obama has more qualities conisdered "white" than he does "black". His "white" are being a senator, his money, his mom, his car, his house, his Joe Biden. Where as his "black" qualities are his dad and his wife.

Actually black people usually vote Democrat anyway. So no real difference, maybe only 1-2 percentage points.

What, you mean like this?

I mean obviously a massive amount of selection of detail went into that video, and I don't think that if you went to West Virginia you'd find everyone is some form of ignorant racist Democrat voter. Still, it gives further backing to the article in the OP.

I love how non racist white people always talk about how racist everyone else is then get defensive if you even think about calling them racist.

If Americans can't get over the racial aspect than they truly deserve another Republican president.

Stupidity is not a disease endemic to one side of politics.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Nice try, but Ido not point out racism, I point out double standards of which I get branded a racist by people like you who can not justify them.

Your argument in this topic fails. The liberal media has got you cornered.

And this has to do with the topic how?

Also just because someone usually votes one way doesnt mean they are sheep.

I see, so there will not be a record number of blacks turning out to vote this election year because Obama is just another democrat and his race is irrelevent to them.

I don't know about that poll. Looks like the questions they asked were really loaded.

I think they were trying to make a story more than come up with accurate results.

IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TOPIC because obama said in a 60 miniutes interview exactly what I said. He said what is stated in the OP, and the fact that blacks will vote for him because he is black makes this issue a wash. So our lord and savior even said it. is he off topic also? fuck sakes.
