I don't understand how people could vote against their own best interests.

Do they realize that's what they're doing? Or are they so brainwashed they don't know what the hell they're doing??

it's hard to compete with hate because it produces irrational behavior.

Which would indicate that the fact he's black is irrelevant to most white folks. So I can't help wondering how that squares with the ugly racism that's so prevalent? The high likeability factor squares perfectly with the huge and enthusiastic crowds that always turn up for his rallies. It makes me wonder if the racists aren't a pretty small minority. And if they're not, how can Obama's likeability be so high?
