mdwjr, that’s funny about that drunk Randi. Old Gerri is voting for the Messiah anyway, don’t know why the drunk made such a stupid statement.
As for this garbage, I received another email from my crazy cousin Pat saying that “Catie, you will have blood on your hands if you don’t vote for Barack. You are a racist anyway, I know you only like “Uncle Tom” Republicans but that’s what happens when you hang around “retards” like your daughter, people like you shouldn’t be allowed to vote!”. I then sent back a reply asking why it’s not racist if 90% of blacks say they’re voting for Obama because he’s black.
BTW, I wouldn’t be surprised if these people are Obama plants. Who yells “off with his head” anymore? Oh, that’s right those anti-war pukes do. Point made.
Sorry John, the idea of having Barack Obama as president does scare me because I am not a socialist nor am I a marxist.

By the way, the comparison to George Wallace is ironically very similar to the tactics used by Wallace — make a gut connection, no matter how absurd, and play on people’s racial paranoia. How sad.

I went to a Palin rally in California and the crowd was largely Hispanic, with groups of African Americans who seem to be ignored by all these pollsters claiming that 96% of the black vote is going to Obama.

@mdwjr:

I think the post-racial moment will be upon us soon, and it will be by grace of the Republicans in 2012, when Jindal runs for national office and the whole country will have to smart from the shock that a GOP party would run a woman and a South Asian American, without making a big deal about identity politics. We are the party of Lincoln; we just have to get back to those roots.

There have been polls of the Hispanic vote. They vary, and of course Cubans are more Republican than Mexican Americans, etc. But the most reliable one seems to be Zogby, who found Obama leading McCain among Latinos 57%-32%. My bet is that on election day, among Hispanics who show up, it will be roughly 60% Obama, 35% McCain, with 5% fluttering around somewhere else. Hispanics are not as easily swept into the Democratic dust bin as blacks are, but I must admit, we are prone to Democratic branding too often.

One of these days, both conservatives and liberals are going to tire of the race business. One of these days, the public is going to tire of it, and to slap the racist label on someone will have lost all its power. Its already happening, just ask Geraldine Ferraro, or as noted politcal scientist and historian Rhandi Rhodes called her, David Duke in drag. Even the most die-hard liberal academic had to see the absurdity in that. There will come a point where no one will care anymore, and people (hopefully) will realize, its not the conservatives that see people as black, white, gay, straight, etc. And I might add, I have yet to hear a poll about the hispanic vote. I guess Katie and Barbara are too busy decimating Sarah Palin to care.
