Is Race An Issue?

I have been lurking recently and I haven't seen this come up. I've seen the sexism come up regarding Palin but not the race issue for Obama. I think his race has alot to do with why pp don't want to vote for him. I don't understand how some pp can be a die hard Democrat and support Hillary to the fullest but as soon as Obama won the democratic nomination everybody jumped on McCains band wagon. Sure everybody will say Obama did this and Obama did that. So has McCain. Every presidential candidate promises CHANGE.Bush said all

Well I am not going to vote for someone I don't trust!


Who here would vote for someone they do not trust?

It is obvious that you aren't going to answer the question, so I'll drop it.

I just about died the other day when a co worker of mine confessed to me that she just couldn't "get there". She just couldn't vote for a black man. I was astonished. She is a well educated individual, so I have no idea where she was coming from. All I could get out was "you have got to be kidding me".

Race plays no part in who I am voting for, and neither does gender.
