will race be a factor in the us presidential election?

[ulsterprince]

I am just wondering if the american electorate will be prepared at this period in their history to elect senator obama

 

[beyond_politics]

Yes the GOP is comprised of many red neck, backward thinking morons.

 

[Dr. Pyser]

Yes it will be a factor. You know America as well as I do, this is the easiest question ever.

Race is a huge factor. Not only against, but for. I guarantee more blacks will vote in this election than have ever voted before. Guarantee that. So it's really a moot point, the race issue, as for every white who won't vote for Obama solely based upon race, you'll have a new black voter who has never voted before, counterbalancing. Thusly, to ultimately answer your question, no, race will not really factor into the "final score".

 

[Rob Right]

Not in my mind. It all depends on the person. Obama has too many ties to corruption and shady characters. Plus he's a left wing Radical. That is why he will not get my vote, not anything to do with his race.

 

[Palin Power!]

it already is. Obama injected it and so did the Clintons.

 

[katherine n]

with 95 % of blacks voting Obama BECAUSE of the fact that he is black and NO other reason,,,I say,,,you bet it is

race aside, the man has friends who are known and unrepentant terrorists and a preacher or two who hates this country. Anyone who thinks BO is a worthy candidate needs some self-examining!
