How many Black people would choose a person based on race rather than qualifications? How many White people would choose a person based on race rather than qualifications?
If Whites were as racist as you claim, McCain would have THE EXACT SAME kind of lead among Whites that Obama has among Blacks. Even among the states where McCain has his highest leads, I wouldn't think he leads by any more than around 60~70% among Whites.
No I'm not missing the point. I'm well aware that there will be people voting for Obama purely cause he is black, just as I'm pretty sure there are people voting for McCain because he isn't. I've seen a lot of people throw the "your only voting for Obama because your black" card.
Like I said I think that radio piece more highlights some people blindly following a candidate than actually taking the time to read through the policies. It happens all the time in politics. It just seems like its being made more of an issue this election because it of the impact it might have.
