As you said yourself, the same stuff was said about the Clintons
and was mostly lies, that doesn't seem to support the notion that
this is racism. I personally do think that there will be some changes
of heart in the privacy of the voting booth, but this sort of stuff has been
going around for a couple hundred years in presidential elections, and
each time we think it is the worst ever.

The over-the-top nature of the lies circulating about Obama do tend to

don't trigger a deep part of their psyches (you know, down there where
racism lives). OTOH, voting against Obama is not by itself proof that
a person is or is not a racist.
