C-Span asks it: Will race be the deciding factor in the election?

[cali]

nothing like bringing the racists out. The topic is rooted in a newspaper article on the subject.

1. I've been checking it out.

I always enjoy listening to the callers... although, sometimes, some of these callers really scare me.

6. Ahh nothing to be scared of

You get a few trying to sound like a lot. Pure garbage some mornings.

2. wtf?

"Barack carries around a monkey god in his pocket".... I haven't heard that one before now.

[Diamonique]

8. Yeah! When I heard that one I almost fell out of bed. Where do these people get this stuff? n/t

4. To see what REALLY might be decisive(LY NEGATIVE) for Obama, look @ MSM silence on AK sweetheart ...

deal that closed the whole "thanx but no thanx" myth on the bridge to nowhere.

The fact that Alaska got ALL the money, and was now FREER to spend it as they pleased THAN EVER seems to have fallen down the memory hole of the MSM. (Also the mainstream blogosphere "critics" of the MSM also, as on the silence in the face of the FlipFlop spin in 04, which included the Kerry campaign and the 527s).

Remember, it's all about "serving", which supposedly means 'country first' (with the interests of "country" defined by an unaccountable oligarchic elite)

5. I just finished listening to it and what a load

You could hear the republican operatives (men of course ) calling in on how they were Hillary supporters but now they were going to support McCain because he picked a woman ??


One even had the unmitigated nerve to say that it did not matter what experience or politics the McCain campaign put forth, they had a woman on the ticket??

Yeah right, ... Iowa put Obama on the map to make this run.. We are as a state as white as it gets. 96% And we went Obama. Our state was red last election and we are going blue this. So while racism certainly plays in a small number of small minds.. People are looking to issues not race.

[curious one]

7. I have high hopes that American people are better than letting race of a candidate affect their vote
