neb, serioulsy wont happen. My wife and I were talking about this the last few nights, we no of very few people who are voting for Obama. And here is the kicker, my mom - A dem and liberal, age 64, raised me to be open to all races and cultures, said she just cant bring herself to vote for someone with the name Barak Obama, she said this is America. We have never had a Joey Buffaroni or a Klaus Vonber or a Maury Goldstein, and we are ready for a Barak Obama?

Not my opinion, but I bet that Mom is representative of a bulk of the 60-80yrs olds in this country and like it or not, they wont be voting for Obama.

Poles most of the time are based on potential voters, not REGISTERED voters. Big difference.

Well, in the 1960 presidential election, many people refused to vote for an Irish Catholic with a name like Kennedy because they were certain he'd be a puppet of the Vatican.

I know, I was around at the time and remember it well.

You know, if Obama wasn't black, he's be ahead by 20 points given the state of our country today on all fronts

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

If Obama wasn't black he wouldn't even be a consideration for the candidacy.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

So you're saying it was Obama's color that so inspired the Democratic National Convention in 2004?

Yes, they were enthralled with the fact that he was black and "clean". At least that's what Joe say's.

As usual you provide acid but little thought. It must really grate on you that Obama's up in every poll and is now seriously challenging a good number of previously Red states.

All because he's black.
