The D...That's what I'm worried about this election. The Dems were either going to put up for election Obama or Hillary Clinton, each with the defect of people not wanting to vote for them because he's black or she's a woman.<BR/><BR/>This really worries me because I think this election is one that the Dems shouldn't lose. The Republicans put up an old guy, someone who tried a couple times to be the candidate (remember Bob Dole -- they put him up in an election they couldn't win; got him out of the Senate and rejuvenated the party). In putting up Obama, they make it a close election.<BR/><BR/>I'm not knocking Obama -- I hope he wins and I think he's the best candidate the Dems have, I'm just worried that some bigoted fucks are going to give the election to the Republicans.Nada Platonicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197309796894068430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326662987939366127.post-38139639150709211842008-08-28T05:39:00.000-05:002008-08-28T05:39:00.000-05:00It's weird to watch the racial politics of America...It's weird to watch the racial politics of Americania at play in your forthcoming elections...<BR/><BR/>There are clearly an amazing number of people who won't vote for Obama simply because he's black.<BR/><BR/>But hey, I shan't get all brit-superior on y'all. It'd be the same her over the pond. Hell, I *hate* nationalism, but I know there's a fair few English people who won;t vote for Gordon Brown because he's too Scottish for them...ptethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364942327419465937noreply@blogger.com
