Reply #259: He is saying that the general election is where a backlash of prejudicial voting

against Obama is likely to occur. It isn't going to be among the democrats in the primaries. I don't think the OJ comparison was meant to be offensive. It is simply the most well known case where a very pronounced difference of opinion between races occurred in relation to his guilt or innocence. At least, once again, as portrayed by the media. Much of this was a backlash from what was perceived as blind support for OJ because of his race. That is where the comparison comes in. No one is saying Obama is anything like OJ. Personally I think it was a poor choice anyways. I think the real reason for the verdict was the way police handled the case.
