Half what? The legal standard in the Old Souf' was 1/32, although there are still some who peddle the "one drop" sort of thing ~ which was certainly not universal.

Still, none of that matters (and he's hardly a Moslem anyway ~ that was his baby-daddy and step daddy ~ Momma was an atheist). What does count is that among Democrats there's this 20% to 30% bunch who will not now nor ever vote for anyone who is not, to their understanding, "pure white", whatever that might be.

Best bet for Republicans to screw up the Democrats is to go to the Dem primaries and vote for Obama.

Presuming Obama can grab the nomination and run in the Fall, that gives the Republican opponent just about a landslide's difference in the popular vote since those Democrats who won't vote for Obama will either scratch (not vote for President), or actually vote for the Republican.

I see it as an insurmountable advantage for the Republicans.

No offense, but suspect being black is probably an advantage, these days. Folks will vote for Obama just to prove to themselves that they are not “racists.”

Also, I think you are far too optimistic. The ‘Pubbies can’t win no matter what they do - the Democrats will have to lose the election.
Not that they won't work really hard at it...

I don’t really care what the legal standard in the ole South is or was. The man won’t admit he is half white regardless. Nor will he admit he is a Muslim. That’s my point.

This man with absoultely no experience should never be running for POTUS anyway.
