Good job beating subman to the punch. I was beginning to think he had some kind of contract wit subsim to provide thread fodder
Fortunately for Mr. Jackson, Obama is not going to win. I'm tired of hearing that there is some doubt as to the outcome of the election.
As much as I hate to say it, there are a lot of swing voters who will not vote for him just because he is black. Not that I agree with any of his views or think that he would be a good prez, but the aforementioned will be what keeps a lot of people on McCain's side or will simply cause them not to vote.
The same force that makes soccer moms lock their doors when they stop at an intersection where a black guy is standing will influence their vote. And they may be nice and really decent people who would never think of discriminating against someone because of their skin, or anything else, and yet in the privacy of the booth they will rationalize their vote over to McCain, probably without even realizing why.
Further exacerbating Obama's problem is the fact that whites have a higher voter turnout rate. So do Republicans.
I would kind of like to see a black president, but I would rather it were Colin Powell.
