Is Obama's race and ability to win because/in spite of it the topic du jour "meme" today?
Edited on Sat Sep-20-08 09:59 AM by butlerd
"Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama" (the headline on the main page is titled "Could Obama's Race Cost Him The White House?")

http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20080920/AP.Yahoo.Poll.Obama.Race/

Then there was this video: "Team Obama snubs Lindsey Lohan?"

BTW: Who do Comcast execs donate to? Anybody know?

2. No, it's just that nobody checks to see if something has already been posted,
so the same dumb poll gets posted over and over again, making it seem like a big deal, which it isn't.

3. I made one of those posts and it wasn't for any
sinister reason. I saw the article on Comcast this morning and brought it up for discussion. Deny it if you want but it is without a doubt a big factor in this election.

4. I certainly wasn't trying to stir things up either
I just noticed that this story/meme seems to be everywhere including the front "news" page of my internet service provider.

5. Thats right, it is a big deal and Obama knows with these kind of people you can't
do anything about it other than make sure those like you and me vote and get people registered and then make sure they get to the polls and vote. That is about all you can do but you are right it is a huge factor so you have to overcome it in other ways.
