good gawd ...... HE'S NOT BLACK !
I don't think it would matter if he was lilly-white, being percieved as muslim would keep him out as much or more than his skin color.

Because he bet me 25 dollars that hill would be pres. He knows it and he's probably reading this thinking he won't pay up. Oh well, a man is only good as his word.

He claims to be a member of the International CoC too, not muslim, but for all practical purposes he is considered to be a black muslim. The press considers him to be black, 99.9% of voters percieve him to be black--doesn't matter what his actual lineage is, at least when it comes down to the election.

Hi guys. Long time -- no see!
I think that the super-delegate thing could start race riots, much like the Rodney King verdict.
As liberal as McCain is, he can win. I think the country identifies Bush with conservativism (we know better) and thus, the country is fed up with conservativism because of the poor job Bush has done. McCain seems to be the anti-conservative republican and as such may win over disillusioned voters.

You have a mind like a steel trap BC.
The super delegate issue is making me wonder if she will still get the nod. I don't feel Obama is corrupt but the Clintons have a long chain of people who they are linked with and favors are owed.

This year I think any democrat would beat a republican, just the mood of the country so it seems. We'll see how this election goes, but I'm starting to think, it's a roll of the dice who gets in office, not the best candidate etc....

Ther's a chance she'll still get the nomination.
The Clintons know where too many bodies are buried. We all know it would just be a matter of time before all kinds of juicy info (about many Washington insiders ) gets leaked to the media.

Mark my words, if this thing is close, the Clintons will get the nomination even if it looks like Barack won it.
All in all I don't really think it matters, their policies are the same and people are stupid. I mean, what has Obama ever done? Nothing, but he's a good speaker so I guess that's good enough for the typical uninformed voter... [&o]

I have gobs of reasons tovoteagainst Clinton or Obama, and none of them involve skin color or gender.
