I don't think race is a determining factor. I know a lot of white people that are planning to vote for Obama. I won't be voting for him, but it has nothing to do with the color of his skin. I am republican and will vote republican. I think just because Palin speaks to us in terms we can understand doesn't mean she can't be valuable at helping to run this country. McCain is capable of doing a great job. He has more experience than Obama regardless of his color. You hear people say, McCain is too old. Now I hear some of you say Palin is too young. So what determines the age is just right. That is just another type of prejudice.
Yes, I agree with what you are saying..a lot of people are going to vote there race, on both sides regardless of the facts.....I do not agree how ever with that even though its true..this election is way to important for our future for people of all races to not check the facts....
I think that this racist action by these older white dems are setting a bad example for the white youths of america and they may just be setting themselves up for retaliation... Racism should not be tolerated I don't care how old, white, rich, or powerful you think you are... I'm all for Obama just because this country deserves a change! Maybe people will start to understand that racism will not be tolerated if we get a black man in office. ~I'm White by the way!~
I am a Republican and will vote for Obama. I believe that many people only see him as black and not for the fine candidate that he is, and will not vote for him. Unfortunately, our society still has a long way to go as far as accepting races other than their own. I am afraid that Obama will lose the election because he is black. If a 63 year old person goes for a job interview today, most likely they will not be hired because of their age unless it is a very mediocre job. But we have a candidate running for the biggest job in America and he is 72. I am 65, in great health, but could never stand up to what the presidency would require as far as energy. That scares me!
I believe that to an extent. But I think it is the other way around. I think black people that have never voted in their life will vote this year and for Obama even tho he is very inexperienced. Lets not forget, he is not just black. He is also white and middle eastern.
