If Obama loses, it won't all be because of race, but i think race is a large part of it. With all the bullcrap that has surrounded Obama's presidency like "Birthers" and a congressman yelling out to the President during an address, "You lie!" and all the other myriad things that are unique to Obama's term, i fail to see how race is NOT an issue. These negative things are all unique to Obama's term, and the only thing unique about obama is the color of his skin.

However I also think Race is also a part of why he got elected to begin with. Of course to prove or disprove that, all you need to do is look up percentage of white vs non white voter turn out during that election year. I'm pretty sure alot of blacks (if not most blacks?) voted for Obama because he was black and for no other reason.

Since this topic is not that important to me, ill let someone else do that research if its such a burning issue. Personally im convinced race is part of the issue. Racism exists, no matter how hard people try and pretend it doesn't.

EDIT:
It's also worth mentioning that the voter demographic is changing. Insert my standard rant about illegal immigration here.
