Yawn… More pandering by the two panderers. LULAC, La Raza, NAACP and The Urban League- none of whom, either singly or collectively, represent the majority in this nation. Just another empty promise chump stump for votes.

Why do we as Americans allow the Politicians to segregate us into the lowest possible descriptions then labels us Voting Blocks?

As for experience, in my book thats weighted lightly. I think senators should have term limits. The longer people stay in dc, the more beholden they are to special interest, the less things get done. Really, i think we need someone with a brain for a change, that can explain policy positions and convince me that their vision is a good vision. Does anyone think the negative campaign from mccain will facilitate bipartisanship in the legislature should he win the election by degrading his opponent?

Lot of racist comments on here. What about specific comments on policy. Admitted, they are somewhat difficult to pin-down at times, but you can’t say they don’t have policies. Most teachers are against the no child left behind for good reasons, but that’s a long discussion that probably few have thought seriously about.

What would you expect for a candidate who opposes affirmative action?

We are a polarized nation and based upon my reading of the comments here, that is not going to change any time soon.

To say 90% of African Americans are voting for Obama because he is black shows a total lack of understanding of this demographic. Some are voting for him because he is a democrat some because of his ethnic origin. But what of the 10% that will not vote him? Are they voting for someone else because he is black? Ah it does not make sense. They are voting as they always vote for whoever the can trust and make them feel good about themselves. Some women voted for hilary because she is a woman some people voted for bill because he was young and handsome. We all exercise our right based on what is right for us. So who is the best candidate the black or the white gentlemen well this the context of how some want the vote framed…..if it comes to that there is only one winner and millions of losers. I am not voting because I am not an american but I am a European observing the us from afar and I am concerned. Concerned that the us will regret another 8 years of bad choices……

Too Funny!!! Of course they gave him standing ovations. It’s as plain as day or should I say black and white. I hope and pray people wake up and vote for what’s important, not skin color. Heck around here there’s an awful lot of biracial children I see every time I go shopping. What are they??? The black card always comes out and they prefer to be labeled black because they can get more handouts from government.

@Gina “After all, we already know that 90% of blacks in America are voting for Obama simply because he is black.”

So how do you account for John Kerry who got 87% of the black vote in the 2004 election?? I guess as they say “when goat dung wants to roll, it will roll uphill (Translation: you’ll make anything fit your beliefs, even if it’s patently and absurdly false)
