I'm not saying that most McCain supporters are racist, ok? However, look at some of the postings I've seen on this forum and incidents nationwide, like....
75 lb bear cub killed with Obama signs stapled to its head (that could be racist).
Oregon college has man hanging Obama poster from a tree.
Cincinnati man hangs Obama ghost from his tree.
If McCain, won by say 2% points or less (not even nationwide, but in your state), well, it's likely those votes from those kind of people put him over the top (or even the subtle ones that don't burn crosses, but think the POTUS should be reserved for a white christian only), would you welcome those votes, if your man would win?
If there's a chance that McCain would win by say, 8 to 10 points, than it's a moot point. However, if anyone could win by that much, I'm 90% sure it would be Obama.

Obviously it wouldn't be cool, but then again I wouldn't be voting for a person because others have or for their reasons as if I knew them anyway...Everyone has their "own" reason for voting for either party...

No, it wouldn't be cool. Then again it wouldn't be cool if ACORN's BS voter registrations got Obama elected.

Hopefully the idiots on each side will cancel each other out.

Not likely at all. The party that wins will be the party that out frauds the other party. This election is all about who can do election fraud bigger and better than the other side and nothing else.

In Chicago, you just get all of the windows in your car broken out for having a McCain bumper sticker. So much more sophisticated than dead bears and all.

I'm tried of this point. It's really stupid and makes the one who points this out looks stupid.
If blacks voted for Democrats 60% of the time and then it was 90% plus for Obama, your point may hold water. It doesn't even hold a wet paper bag since it's not so.

Who claimed it was for any other reason? Blacks have shown time and tme again their willingness to vote against their interest due to the lies they are constantly told, having them think for themself this election simply because the candidate is black would truly be asking to much..
