Sorry, but you are wrong. It is Obama's POLITICAL views that I have a problem with, not his skin color. I'd vote for Condi Rice in a heartbeat.
I believe you. I'm not saying that race will have either a conscious or subconscious effect on everybody's vote. But I'm betting it will for enough of us that it will be a factor. Do you agree that many blacks will vote for Obama primarily for that reason? And that may women who voted for Hillary in the primary mostly because of her gender, have now shifted to McCain/Palin for the same reason?

I agree that many blacks will vote for Obama just because he's black, yes. I don't agree that many Hillary supporters will vote for Pail just because she's a woman. I think a small number will, but voters who are really informed know that Hillary and Palin have two completely different political agendas.

That's for damn sure. But are you telling me that you believe only a "small number" of American voters, black, white, male or female, are uninformed?
I really don't care about anybody's race or color. Obama's policies and agenda are far left. If he was more conserative and had more experience and accomplishments I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. I like his personality. I WANT to like him, just can't get past the class warfare and socialism he is hawking. I like the man and want to play some B-ball with him and have a beer or two afterwards.
Bush has tilted the playing field so that it favors the top 3% of the population. The country's middle class is all but a memory. Class Warfare? You must have a ton of bread, and by the way, I don't do so bad myself, got the nice house in the suburbs, the two late model luxury cars in the garage, etc., but that's not an excuse for not seeing. Obama's not hawking socialism. He's hawking a political system that's not in the pocket of the elitist of the elite.
I am turned off by his wife, not by Obama. Many people rather they admit it or not judge a man by his wife. Sure she is educated and probably a good mother but she lacks in the looks department! When I first saw her on TV, my first impression was OMG! I am sure I am not the only person who thought that. Nor does it have anything to do with her color she could be white with the same features and I would of thought the same. Now if Obama had a wife who looks like Suzanne Malveaux I am sure the reaction to his wife (first lady) would of been different. Rather people want to admit it or not looks are important! Palin draws a lot of attention due to her looks.
You're scary Manoa girl. Are you really a girl, a female, and this is how you judge another woman? I'm betting you are on the young side, on the cute side too, huh Manoa girl, and I'd say it's safe to say a little on the shallow side as well, right? I hate to be the one to break it to you sweetie, but looks fade, as will yours, and then you may have to start judging people differently, as you will need to be judged with a less critical eye.
Didn't Kerry lose the election in 2004? I think more people are turned off by the left-wing ideology than race.
Yeah, and I was shocked by that too. After the first four years, I would have thought that the large majority would have been onto Bush and Cheney and the Neo-cons. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice ... well you know the rest. But three times? Because that's what a vote for McCain is, a vote for more George Bush. So fool me three times and well, we need a new adage; shame on us all.
IMO if he were white he wouldn't be where he thinks he is....
he could be purple with green polka dots and he would still be pinnochiobama
Point to an issue that he's lied about.
