[ What scares me all to h.11 is that our nation is on the verge of electing a "SOCIALIST" as POTUS!! ]

The ONLY candidate for President that is NOT A SOCIALIST more or less is Ron Paul.. Only one choice..

“I think the answer is yes, and fours years of abject failure will follow.”

Failure, although tragic, is expected, but infiltration of the WH by Al-Qaeda will be disasterous.

"He has already announced that, if elected, he would serve only one term -- a self-imposed limit out of self-consciousness of old age."

Not only poorly written, but factually creative - unless I missed a MAJOR announcement by McCain.

one thing is all but guaranteed -- that the Republicans' "dirt digging" and "mud slinging" machines will blitz the digital space and the news media with a relentless series of vicious and personal attacks against Obama, designed to arouse the latent prejudices of American voters.

Actually if right-wing groups attack Obama the left will discount the attacks as well as rally behind Obama. Nothing reinforces a leftist's credentials more than upset conservatives.

Latent prejudices is a leftist problem. They try to throw their uncomfortable thoughts onto the right. But Obama doesn't need any Republicans to vote for him and isn't counting on that.

Obama's does not have a white problem. The prejudice problem is mostly with Asian and Hispanic Democrats.

Barack Obama is just as much white as he is black. He is bi-racial individual, not a “black” one. Therefore, if elected he won’t be the first black President.

Of course the question itself assumes and presumes that America is a racist society in which blacks cannot succeed. Were that true, Barack Obama would never have been elected to the US Senate or gotten as far as he has and Oprah Winfey, one of the richest women in the world who is black, would be scrubbing floors for minimum wage. Liberal idiots and scumbags who consistently accuse many Americans of being racists and bigots for not embracing certain black politicians, always leave out the fact that their lack of support comes from the fact that they are liberal dopes who support whole hog the sick, twisted, and diseased left-wing agenda and are encouraged to use race and accusations of racism as a cover to divert criticism of their stupid and warped ideology and kill debate by accusing critics of racist motives.

I’d gladly take common sense conservative libertarian economist and philosopher Professor Walter Williams over Barack Obama, who unlike Obama, is all black. His support of strict constructionist, Constitutionally based limited government and economic and individual liberty is what is attractive to me, not his color.

Liberals are obsessed with race and sex.

I’d vote Sowell or Williams in a SECOND, no qualms. And they’re “blacker” than half-baked Obama.

Damn, I wish 1 of those men was running instead of the mealy-mouthed “white”-washed lamos we have on the GOP stage now.

The only reason the liberal (though likeable) Obama is a serious democrat candidate is because he is black. It’s certainly not because of his accomplishments.

If he is defeated along the way, racism won’t be the reason that many people vote for someone else... or don’t vote at all.

...I’ve been trying to explain to that Obama (any Democrat, almost) just means SOCIALISM!!!! And, will cost them their freedom and livlihoods.

Sorry, I think you are wasting your time. What is important to them is that he sounds good and has charisma. They really are not paying attention to the substance of what he says; they just like to dance along.

More interestingly, they'd rather be governed by a homosexual than an atheist.

I'd really like to meet the idiot who formulated this poll question.

“Unlike liberals, I don’t look at Obama’s skin color first.”

I agree but, I do thing they got the *bitch* part correct.

A black president would be fine with me.

But a socialist president would suck.

An American President isn’t, or should I say SHOULD NOT be selected for “style” or a “statement”.

Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are confusing the presidential race with American Idol....
