No one should bet on Pennsylvania either way. Pennsylvania is a toss up to lean Obama at best.

It's not too late to come to your senses.

So true! Vote Obama/Biden, send Bush III and his unqualified cohort packing

John McCain is the victim here.
I'm unsure of your point here.

What the heck do you expect blacks to do?

Would not whites do the same if the tables were turned and a white had never held office?

Or any minority facing similar prospects?

It sucks to go unrepresented forever.

I sure am seeing a lot of poorly thought out arguments to the contrary.

Please post the link to these polls so we can see your source.

What is alll this talk about black how people are the real racist since 91% to 95% are voting for Obama because he is black. News flash 91% to 95% would have voted for Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Edwards. Black people support the democratic party. One more thing I believe black people are voting for Barack Obama because he is qualified. The fact that he is black just makes it more sweeter.

I wonder how many Texans voted for Bush in the primaries and general because he was "one of them"?


Even though he really wasn't.

So you're saying Obama is representing blacks?
