Rep Power: 33 | | | Will Whites Vote for Obama? NYT pecks at the truth: Occidental Observer Mabry's central point—that whites won't vote for a too-black candidate—isn't necessarily wrong. But he stops short about why: Even in this age of near-maximum saturation of political correctness and egalitarian dogma, many whites simply balk at embracing blacks. To white advocates, of course, this is perfectly natural and easily explained: Blacks are a different race with markedly different behavior patterns, intelligence levels and value systems.

You do realize your article uses (incorrect) Kid Rock lyrics to try and make its point? However, Kid Rock's lyrics aren't "black like mayors".. It's "mack like mayors, ball like Lakers". |

Rep Power: 166 | | | If you are pinning your hopes Obama will lose on this shit, You may end up being very upset in November. I hope he loses, but I doubt he loses just cause he is black.

Rep Power: 57 | | | I think there is enough voters - maybe 5% - who may swing the vote because they can't vote for a black President.
I don't think so, but in a tight race, its possible.

Rep Power: 10 | | | Geez, and blacks may not vote for him because he's white which is also a different race. It is possible he won't get a single vote in Fall. |

Rep Power: 25 | | | I think by the time the general election process gets to November, the public will have been educated as to just what kind of a true scum bag hussein is, and that's why he won't get elected, not because he's black.

Barack Obama's victory stirs Mississippi ghosts
n the town where three civil rights workers were slain in 1964, his candidacy uniquely resonates. The county supported him in the primary
PHILADELPHIA, MISS. -- Some places are defined by a single event. Roswell, N.M., will always be known for space aliens, Dallas for assassination. And this little town in the Piney Woods of eastern Mississippi will forever be the site of one of the most brutal crimes of the civil rights era.
But Philadelphia -- situated in a county once dubbed Bloody Neshoba -- can now add a remarkable footnote to its most nefarious chapter: The rural county where three men were killed for trying to help black people vote has cast the majority of its ballots to put a black man in the White House.

Rep Power: 37 | | | I am White. I will not be voting for Obama. The reason for this has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
I will not be voting for McCain, either.
