I think that a strong majority of people in this country are opposed to racism. Perhaps there is a large number of "mini-racists" who prefer to hang out with other people of similar ethnic background, crack culturally sensitive jokes when no one's looking, etc. But I don't think that, when it comes down to it, there are enough serious racists out there who wouldn't vote (R) regardless to have any effect on Obama's chance of winning the Presidency. And in other news, If you look at the history of Liberalism vs. Conservatism (back to the days of Napolean) you'll see that anyone who identifies themselves too strongly with one label or the other is probably not too enthused with useless things such as "the will of the people" or "democracy" outside of the ability said things have in helping secure their paychecks *coughHILARYcough*, so I think it's best to stick to canditates who try to reach across, not just party lines, but ideological lines to get things accomplished. And I'm finished. Thanks.
