James, I didn't make a comment about racism in general, neither does the 
article. My earlier post, last month, and this article today, is strictly 
about the demographic numbers game and how the party that has been built on 
identity politics, could suffer from the same identity schisms for which they 
have accused others.  The article, and my post takes, Republicans , and 
independents (like you and I ), out of the equation.
 
This is about numbers.  If the same percentage of Democrats votes for Obama, 
as the percentage of Republicans votes for McCain, then McCain has no chance. 
 There are just too many more registered Demvcrats than there are registered 
Republicans; especially in the few battleground states that will ultimately 
decide this election.  Pennsylvania , for example; 67% of all registered 
voters are Democrats, that is a 3:1 numbers advantage.
 
This is not about ideology , in general.  It is about the overall numbers 
game ......bobford

Bob, that's an interpretation rather than a fact.  Everytime someone opposes 
Obama because of his lack of specifics and his socialism, those wishing to 
see 
racism behind every bush and tree say, "See, you're a racist!"

So let me pose the question, what does a person have to do to be opposed to 
Obama and yet NOT qualify to be a racist?  </HTML>
