The simple fact is that a significant number of conservatives who wouldn't show up to vote for McCain would show up to vote against Hillary. Thus, Obama has a better shot at beating McCain.

Absolutely, and his name is J.C. Watts. As my mom used to say, “Right church, wrong pew.”

Oh, I’d have no problem voting for a black man, as long as he’s a Republican, which means he’s more likely NOT a socialist.

[SuziQ]

Will the wave of youthful enthusiasm and passion, which has buoyed Obama's campaign to date be enough to propel him to the White House?

Only if they actually bother to get out and vote on Election Day.

This was written by two university professors? I've seen better written articles from semi-illiterate asylum residents or high school freshmen.

Am economist and a techie. No wonder they're language-challenged. But it all doesn't matter anyway because Clinton will be the nominee.

[Mike Darancette]

Despite being 50% black and 50% white (American white mother), Obama is classified as black. He would still be classified as black if his parents' races were reversed.

Who classified Obama as black? The government? The press? No, Obama classifies himself as black.

It is my opinion that the first black President will be a Republican.

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

That's one of the nicest things about being Republican. Obama tried to run as a Senator who just happened to be black, rather than as a black man, but the Clintons played the race card in SC and put an end to that. Guess they need dem victim groups to know their place. Sick.
