Race will be an issue. Sex will be an issue. Yes people will not vote for people for silly reasons but there are likely equal amounts of people who vote for silly reasons. There are polls showing pissed off Hillary voters will vote for McCain out of spite. Silly, hard to believe, but it is likely.
CNN’s Jack Cafferty -
Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it’s one that nobody’s talking about.
The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn’t be more well-defined. Obama wants to change Washington. McCain is a part of Washington and a part of the Bush legacy. Yet the polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense…unless it’s race.
Time magazine’s Michael Grunwald says race is the elephant in the room. He says Barack Obama needs to tread lightly as he fights back against the McCain-Palin campaign attacks.
Is that why Kerry lost. I really don’t see how Kerry lost. You take the number of Democrats plus the number of Anti-Bush people and it should have been an easy victory for Kerry. If you can’t win on that alone. But if Obama or Hillary was in that race it would have been easy to say it was due to racism or sexism.
Be intellectually honest people.
