Sounds like a generalization. I'm quite sure a large number of black voters who are for Obama agree with his views, or at more of his view than they do McCain's. Likewise for black voters who will vote for McCain. I'm sure you could find a number of white voters who will also just vote for McCain because he is white.

The sad thing is that neither canidate is all that good.

As far as the Hussien comment, seems to be a repub tactic. Stirs up the hate in folks so they'll consider not voting for Obama cause the Hussein suggests he is a Muslim (seems that I remember a Barak in the Old Testiment??). Course these same repubs have no problem dissing Obama cause of his choice of Christian church for the last 20 years. Sort of like how Bush and co could barely mention Iraq without mentioning 9-11 or Alqueda in the same breathe in the lead up to the Iraq war. Hey, they never lied by linking the two like that, but right before the war, polls showed that 48% of Americans thought that Iraq was directly involved in 9-11.

Oh, and if we are against Muslims so much, how come we are so into helping out Iraq? Last time I checked they were predominantly Muslim.

For you righties who are so against Obama, may be you could provide some positives for McCain rather than spending all of your time dissing Obama. If your point is that McCain is not Obama, its a pretty weak case...
