Race Has Something To Do With Politics
This has been a long campaign and both candidates have to show the American people that they are ready to be President. The only problem for one of the candidates would be the color of his skin. The people in Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia said that race plays a factor. Here is the question.........do you think Obama will loose because older white Americans in both Republicans and Democratic parties just can't vote for an African-American and still think less of blacks in America?

From all that I see in the media race has everything to do with this election. If Obama loses, the entire country will be labeled as racist. People fear that quite a bit.

This election race is the only tangible thing Obama has going for him. How sad.

I think that the racism part of this election will effect the number of votes Obama gets, but I don't think it will keep him from winning.

In a New York Times article that was published about a month ago, a reporter described a scene that was very interesting. Obama was walking down a path talking to supporters, and there were a couple of men wearing baseball caps and holding a large sign. The sign read: "Rednecks for Obama." One of the men said quote: "We fish, hunt, drink beer and support Obama." This is interesting because the insinuation about rednecks is that they are all racist.

I don't know if these three "rednecks" mirror the majority of the separate culture, but it is interesting.
