How much of a factor is race in all the democratic primaries?

It's a major factor for Obama. If he wasn't black it's very unlikely that he would be getting 92% of the black vote as he currently is.

THANKS TO OBAMA AND HIS RACIST AMERICAN HATING PREACHER HE'S MADE IS A RACIST ELECTION..

Race is not a factor with me. I do not care about it.

Major factor

I agree with comment #1, and his wife's comments will defeat him.

Yes it is a factor, the trailer park racists are going to shoot themselves in the foot financially because they refuse to admit a black man might be better for this country than a old white woman who has a history of boldface lies

Race is definitely a factor because of the comments made by both Democratic hopefuls. i.e. hard working people , white people; my white grandmother; for the first time in my adult life; etc.

It is fairly obvious who is voting for him (Obama). I don't think he has a ghost of a chance in the general eletion. Rev. Wright is only the tip of the iceberg with his sordid collection of buddies that he has.

Of course race is a factor in the Democratic contest. 90 plus % of blacks vote for Obama while 60 plus % of whites vote for Clinton. I think this shows that blacks are more racist than whites, at least during these primaries.

That wife of his hate whites & has a real chip on her shoulder. God help us if he gets elected .

Hillary wins states with primaries with thousands of voters; Obama wins caucuses, with few in attendance in comparison. With out the so called red staes and majority of racial support, Obama would no tbe in this race, John Edwards would be.

Blacks and/or African Americans are more racist than white American. Believe me I know I live around it.

The question is unclear and i don't believe any hypothesises can accurately be drawn from the results. For instance, will you be assuming a yes response means whites won't vote for a black candidate. or will you be assuming that blacks are overwhelingly voting for obama because he is nlack. Etc. Etc. It seems to me that no specific "conclusions" can be drawn from this survey.

Interesting that it took almost 2900 votes before the first comment got posted... THAT also tells a lot! Michelle Obama, Jeremiah Wright, & even OPRAH have injected race into the contest long before Bill Clinton's awkward remarks in SC which were more likely frustrated stupidity and not a racial card. And poor Geraldine Ferraro... tarred as a racist by the black community... a shabby way to thank her for all her advocacy for black issues over the years! The most sensitive and obvious people are the most blatantly racist these days in the USA! We are back to the 50s and maybe the 40s when he is the nominee & more of Obama's background, associations, and beliefs are brought to light!

I don't care about race but it seems we're forgetting that Obama is half white! Strange nobody ever mentions this. I am a registered Democrat but I will vote for John McCain should Obama be our nominee. He is not experienced enough and besides I think his wife is a racist.

just read where he didnt get on cell to her. if he can not handle losing how will he handle our country. we are not ready for him. he is what they call in my world a soar loser.

Race is a major factor, just as religion is with many, gender is with many, and there's nothing wrong with that. People will feel the way they feel no matter how the media wants to spin it.

Anyone thinking race isn't a major factor is in denial, especially after the NC primaries. 92% of blacks voting for Obama is not support, it's called racism.

There is really no way around the fact that 92% of Obamas' vote is black. People hate to say it but, race is going to be a big factor in the November election.

I am a latina who feels that as a latina I am first an American and my ethnic group is great but has nothing to do with me when choosing a nominee for president -i look for the best qualified one -not by race, ethniticity or genda. Unfortunately in the dem primary,the black people do not think like I do-they are choosing a candidate by race -theirs. I hope the back superdelegates do not act this way when they choose who to support -otherwize in the future everyone will be doing this -so will I -a hispanic president -after all -there are more hispanics than blacks in the USA -an eye for an eye -how sad for America

Race is a big factor. The people are'nt very honest when it comes down to it. We still live in a racist society. Not that I'm trying to make it a big deal. I believe he left WV is because his feeling are hurt. He didnt get the white voter.

90% Black in N.C. for example, how can anyone say it's not about race?

Number four another racist comment. Can't be A white American.

Of course race is a major factor. It is an enormous shame that the people who hate America the most are endorsing Obama. And, that his faux pas about ".....visiting 57 states in the past 15 months" and "still having one more to go.....Alaska and Hawaii" is sheer evidence that he is ignorant and wouldn't even be considered if he weren't a black man getting 90% of the black voters to vote for him in spite of his "shooting himself in the foot" consistently and continuously.

Obama, his wife, his pastor, his friends has and will turn this to a race issue but more of a communism issue. This candidate is a disgrace to the entire country. I only wish that his pastor and his friends and his wife would have been brought out as early as 30 days ago by more news outlets to the voters from other states unfortunately already cast their votes and/or did not get out and vote. Thank goodness for Fox News that is just reporting the facts to the good people of our country. Tell us more about this inexperience and not so honest candidate!!

If he had not been black and gotten over 90% of the black vote several of the states he won he would have lost

Race is a great factor, because the media cannot be truthful when evaluating the election results for fear of being "Politically Correct". The candidates have the same problem. If they say the wrong thing it will be considered "Racial”.

Race wasn't an issue until the curtain was pulled back on Obama, his Reverand, the comments of his wife, pictures with Farrikan, etc, etc. Race has become an issue becaue of the Obama crowd brand of underground racism. Who can forget the Reverand's statements, and the absolutely worst yet vision, the black congregation in the background cheering on his racist hate toward whites and his country. This empty suite with a smooth talk is NOT what this country can vote for nor needs.

Obama's minister has made this all blacks are voting for black, so what should whites do..., Racism is still around unfortunately, and because of Wright it is growing....

Race has become a factor because of the underlying comments Obama has made all along. He cleverly makes statements, takes up defensive positions, takes offense to comments and so on. He is definitely using race in a subliminal way and I think a lot of people have detected it and are offended. Additionally, I truly feel that Obama, and his wife, to some degree, subscribes to Wright's theology which is very dangerous. They have to many questionable associations and have made to many comments over the long term to make me believe otherwise.

It`s plain to see that if he wasn`t black, he wouldn`t even be in the race.

People like to vote for people who look like them. We also vote for people who have the same values and respect us. If they don't - we won't.

Race is definitely a factor with the Black voters. They're not fooling anyone by saying they're voting for him just because they like him better. I wonder if they understand what he stands for. That scares me.

Race has become a major topic of discussion yet if any mention of "white voters" then it is considered a racial remark...even President Clinton stating the facts about the racial demographic in South Carolina was misinterpreted...this situation is starting to slow boil and I believe that it will begin to boil over by September. We cannot pretend to have equality and then have color-coded words on one side and candy-coated words on the other hoping to bring unity. We should be able to speak suscinctly and clearly without creating a pig-wollowing for media guru's. I love Hillary Clinton...and feel I don't know B Obama...and don't care much for what I see. It's a shame that she didn't get greater momentum early in the Primary Season. She could make a great President and I am a Republican!

Race is a major factor among blacks, thats why Obama is winning. If Democrats elect Obama get use to saying the words President Mccain. Hillary is the only Democrat that can win the white House now.

I think if John Edwards had not run so long, Hillary would have had more votes because Obama is black. So race is a factor. Every state should have the same 3 candidates run, not drop out 1 by 1.

Obama himself made race an issue. And THEN he lost his credibility through his early support for Rev. Wright. He has no one to blame but himself for blundering his election. If he's the Democratic candidate, I will vote Republican.

I have a professor (African American), I asked who he would vote for and he said Obama, then I asked him why... he said because it's a historical moment ... an African American Man... being elected ... I pointed out he hasn't done anything really to prove he's able to do it... and he just returned to his original argument and got irritated ...

I think that Hillary being a woman is more of a hinderence than Obama being half black and he's a man. It's still a man's world....there are a few companies like Fox where they're fair and balanced with their employees but most companies still have the glass ceiling where woman still walk 4 paces behind the man. Love your show each night. Keep up the good stories and interviews.

Not much till after Rev. Wright...I think we'll see now. Indiana should have been a cake walk. If not for the black support now since the latter half he wouldn't be doing so well. Independents have been declaring their sorrow at voting for him before Wright came on the scene...not enough elections since to show he has lost support. He's lucky the college kids like him...a lot of us don't. The media support has made me not like him. I don't get a chill up my leg I get a gag in my throat. I'll be curious to see the rest of the unsavory folk that have helped him come so far. What a wake up call for some of those bedazzled by his charm.

Race is a major factor, but it did not start that way. The Obama campaign created this environment

I was/am shocked at the results of this poll. I guess it depends on the what all you consider. Sure race has come up during the primaries, but race is no factor in my decision.

him and his wife are both raciast.....it is starting to come out now. he did not even care enough about w. va. to campaign there.....must be because we are bitter and cling to our guns....we do pray to god he does not win!

As a Democrat, I will never vote for Obama. Michele Obama is a racist. At least we know what we are getting with Hillary or McCain. I do not trust how he really feels about whites. If Rev Wright's comments came out when Obama started his campaign, he would never be were he is today.

the american people are ready for a change however the people are voting for Oboma to prove that they are not racist but that doent a thing in the general election they will vote for the person who they believe is the best

If Obama's relationship with Rev. Wright and William Ayers were made public before the Iowa primaries, not to mention Michelle's attitude, Obama would have out of the race a long time ago. Obama made it a race issue when he joined Wright's church for the black votes. Why else would he stay in that church, all those years, if he didn't agree with the teachings of Rev. Wright? gjac

I want to believe we are all just Americans now, without gender or race bias. After all united we stand, divided we fall. It is still true

As a Democrat, I will never vote for Obama. Michele Obama is a racist. At least we know what we are getting with Hillary or McCain. I do not trust how he really feels about whites. If Rev Wright's comments came out when Obama started his campaign, he would never be were he is today.

It's a major factor. If Obama was a white man, and speaking of change in America there wouldn't be any doubt that he as a white MAN would receive the HARD WORKING AMERICANS----WHITE AMERICANS ----BLUE COLLAR vote.

the way the black vote has been mostly for obama as north carolina was 92 percent says it all. until africian americans decide to become there real race which is AMERICAN-AFRICIAN ther will never be any unity. i doubt there are very many Africians in America. my original family came from england .i am mixed indian-english BUT i am American and very proud of it. so there jim

It was not a factor until obama's camp decided to trot him up before the American crowd and lecture the rest of us on race, when up to that point, nothing was said or implied. The media labeled it as a "most wonderful speech", when all I got out of it was a person giving his bio and how blacks are terribly misunderstood. obama went on, later, to say his granny was a "typical white" and blue collars "cling to their religion and guns...". Let me get this straight, HE is not racist, but the rest of us (pink, light to darker beige, brown, yellow, red, white) ARE racist and we better not say ANYTHING that even remotely sounds "off base" or we're racist. The sanctimonous ones that agree with him, though, are never such and have superior judgement. So, I guess now it appears it IS about race!

where are all of the true statesmen in this election. not a one of the democratic or republican candidates has impressed me this election. the third party candidates is even a bigger joke! i have thought for some time that america needs another party to insure better election results. we need something new to promote worthy candidates and nominees! i voted for bugs bunny on the republican ballot in pa. i am not proud of that, but it was the only way to show my protestation. i do not know how i will vote in the general election. i can't vote for mc cain. i certainly can't vote for either obama or clinton. and barr, paul, and nader are just idiots! maybe i will just not vote at all. the gop is underestimating people in my category. they had better shape up or the gop is a dead party!

Race is absolutely the defining issue in this race. Because White America is so afraid of being labeled as rascist (due to the double standard of white vs. black in regards to racial comments), there is absolutely no discussion about why Senator Obama is at times (South Carolina) getting in excess of 90% of the black vote! When Senator Clinton mentions hard working White Americans, it is immediately discussed in the media whether or not this was a racist statement. Where is the honest and open discussion of the huge benefit of black voters to Senator Obama? Race is the 800 lb gorilla in the room which absolutely nobody will discuss.

Obama gets side track when he do not win, his wife is a problem for the general. I wont vote for him and I am black.

As a Dem I can't vote for Obama and heaven help us if Michelle gets her hands into the white house. She is racist and hates America. Barack Obama would have dropped out a long time ago if he was white

I don't believe it was a factor until the Rev. Wright issue surfaced.

This is most definately based on race more so on the American Africans than in any other because of raw numbers showing all contests conclusive with well over 80% for Obama when comparing American Hispanics as well as all other Americans. In my 40 years of life I have never seen such a RACE BASE overwhelmingly voting for Obama because he is African American while other races there is no race based preference. You just don't vote for a black man because you yourself are black. Having voted for McCain I am so relieved that we are set.

i think it is kind of ironic that black america has done nothing short of cry over the years that they haven't been given a fair shake; and that may be so, however, who really is more racist? white america is voting for obama at roughly 55%, that's nearly half - or just shy of that mark. while black america is overwhelmingly 92% voting for obama... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. the other thing is... i have a problem with the media saying that white america, whom is not college educated, isn't voting for obama. well, I AM COLLEGE EDUCATED; and obama scares the hell out of me politically... not because he's black.

Race will be a factor in this election. Not because of a black man running but because of all his baggqge he brings with him. His wife's comments, his comments, and the Rev. Wright"s comments, and aLL the other negatives that comes with him. He will never win the election.

I am African American and a longterm, regular , daily Fox viewer. I beleive that Shaun Hannity's daily repetition of all of his negatives re: Obama is fueling many of the racial thoughts, feeling and actions manifesting at this time. It appears that he believes that it is incumbent upon him, the see to it that this Africian American does not make it to the White House. I was of the belief system that it was his task to report not attempt to sway the thinking of the viewers. By the way, I have no intention of voting for either of the presidential candidates. I understand that this is not directly related to your show, however he represents Fox News Personally, race is not an issue with me. My choice are made based on moral principles, and noe of the presidential candidates express them.

obama himself is racist - he was the one that said his grandmother was a typical white woman - wait, if i said someone was a typical black person, then i would be labeled a racist. hillary says a comment about obama losing some white voters in a certain socioeconomic class and then she is labeled a racist - wait, but what she said was true. oh, you can't say it because it is racist??? obama's little ploy with rev. wright was a set-up at the perfect time to work in his favor - do you actually believe that his recent public comments just happened? the whole election is being thrown - ted kennedy and his cronies pulled obama (a nobody) out of a back room and said he was akin to jack kennedy and lincoln himself- give me a break. next thing you know he will be saying he is the antichrist. my husband, who is puerto rican, by the way, said on listening to hillary talk to bill oreilly - " she would make a GREAT, GREAT president" you go girl hillary. obama will lose, lose, lose the election and then the dems will say, what happened? i am ashamed to be a democrat with all this nonsense with caucuses and crap like that - it isn't democratic at all. one person' s vote counts more than another's. NO BAMA and no MICHELLE- she is the biggest racist going. Goodbye obama - go back to illinois. have you ever listened to hillary talk - she is intelligent, has numbers and facts at her figures- all obama talks about is change, hope, audacity which equates to nothing. no wonder hamas wants him for president. he is the biggest wimp loser i have ever seen. he is an automatic vote for john mccain. wake up howard dean and listen to the dem voters - we want hillary clinton. no wonder they didn't want to have florida and michigan count - they went overwhelmingly for clinton. so the dems said it wasn't fair! huh!!! hillary's health care plan takes into account every single american - obama's leaves 15 - 18 MILLION uninsured. you need to watch Michael Moore's latest documentary on Health care and then tell me how you sleep at night with obama's health care plan. makes you wish you weren't even an american.

Why is it that whites are so much more open minded than blacks? You don't see 92% of all whites voting for Hillary. We are taught from little up that we must be inclusive and embrace everyone. Obviously, the black community in general does not communicate this same message. It appears that for them, it's all about them and what's in it for them. They don't care about us yet we are required to care about them. I can't imagine the attitudes of many blacks toward whites if and when we do get a black president...and isn't it truly a shame that we even have to clarify what color or gender the person is. If we truly are what we say we are, a county where everyone is equal, then all references to race and gender should be eliminated starting from the top down.

ONE MINUTE OBAMA IS BLACK AND THE NEXT HE IS PART WHITE. I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHO HE IS SPEAKING MORE IN FRONT OF AT THE TIME. I DONT MIND IF HE IS PRESIDENT I WANT HILLARY TO WIN BUT IF SHE DONT I DONT WANT THE OLD MAN ONE THE OTHER SIDE TO WIND. I THINK OBAMA MADE IT OUT TO BE BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE. HE WILL HAVE HIDDEN SECRETS COME OUT SOMETIME. WHOEVER SAYS HE WONT ARE NOT TOO SMART. IF YOU LOOK THEY ALL DO. DOES NOT MATTER WHO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT....MAJORITY OF BLACK WANT HIM TO WIN..THAT IS NO SECRET. WE ALREADY HAVE A BLACK USA AND NO WHITES CAN BE IN IT. BUT THE ORIGINAL MISS USA THE BLACKS CAN BE IN THAT WITH US. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?????? I WANT A GOOD REASON............

what happens if Obama and Clinton are on the same ticket will it still be a racial issue????

Obama, is for the black people only. He has no new ideals for the USA. If you don't think so, why is he getting over 90% of the black vote ? Our defense would suffer big time. He wants to talk to the counties that hate us, just like Jimmy Carter did when he was President. To bad Regan, is not the President now. He has no clue about how to deal with oil prices, the downfall of the dollar. They talk about GWB being a bad President. After 8 years of Bill Clinton, people should not have anything to talk about. What a joke !! Bill, and Jimmy Carter. thank you.

Race is a pathetic card. Descrimination and race issues throw out accountability for individual action. I do not make my decisions based on my skin color, but on my national pride. This is my home, and racism is not tolerated nor accepted. U.S.A. love it or leave it. This cracker has had enough of all the racial agendas. I am more concerned with the much larger resume that Senator Clinton brings to the field. Race is a Non-issue

With a white mother and a negro father it's amusing that he's claimed by the black folk as black. I guess half negro is better than no negro at all. Regardless, this democratic race has become primarily about race versus issues. In my opinion this will ultimately lead McCain to the white house.

Race has become a major factor for Obama. 92% of black voters are voting race - not unity. They are looking for payoff and payback. Many whites don't support that.

where are all of the true statesmen in this election. not a one of the democratic or republican candidates has impressed me this election. the third party candidates are even a bigger joke! i have thought for some time that america needs another party to insure better election results. we need something new to promote worthy candidates and nominees! i voted for bugs bunny on the republican ballot in pa. i am not proud of that, but it was the only way to show my protestation. i do not know how i will vote in the general election. i can't vote for mc cain. i certainly can't vote for either obama or clinton. and barr, paul, and nader are just idiots! maybe i will just not vote at all. the gop is underestimating people in my category. they had better shape up or the gop is a dead party!

I think that Race was a huge factor in w.v primary tonight.Ms. clinton was very creative by using her famous remarks hard working "White" Americans , aren't most Americans hard working ? This was very insulting to the other enthnicity who resides in USA.She deliberatly use that racial remark "White" because she knew her target group,that W.V is 95% white. However, the people who see people as one did vote for Obama.Ms. clinton means that she has to win at any means necessary, even if by dividing the party into to groups .i have news for her she will not succeed. i am an outsider looking in.

Absolutely, I think race is a factor just as gender is a factor. The Democratic party shouldn't have been so irresponsible to allow a black person run against a woman in the same year. Then, they messed up the voting in Florida and Michigan. And, oh yes, the caucuses. The more this goes on, the Republican party is looking pretty good. Especially if Hillary Clinton doesn't get the nomination.

Not just race - his whole background , attitude and his own comments in HIS book - if it comes to push vs shove he will support Arabs. Not for me or my family - never.

Race is a major factor with the black people. Just look at the high percentage voting for Obama and low percentage voting for Hillary. With the other races (caucasian, hispanics,asians, etc) these people seem to be voting for the candidate they feel will be the better president. Most blacks (not all) will always vote for the black person whether the person can do the job or not. There is also alot of blacks pressuring/blackmail/etc. other blacks to vote for Obama. Remember the saying, "Show me who your friends are and I'll show you what type of person you are."

Race is an issue,always will be,but with Obama it's his anti-American beliefs (see Rev. Wright) that will cost him the general. Too late for buyers remorse Democrats. If super-delegates go against tha people & pick Hillary ,election lost. If they stay with Obama, election lost. God help us if there's a President Obama!

Especially if Hillary Clinton doesn't get the nomination.

Speaking as a white person, I have to say that I truly believe that race, honestly, and thankfully, is not a big factor for the majority of white people and it's about time that that is the case. For the black population, however, it truly is. Having sad that, how can you blame them? I would without a doubt do the same if positions were reversed. I cannot imagine the utter excitement that the black population must be feeling now. It's racism, but positive racism if that makes any sense. I don't think that black people are voting "black" because they hate white people, but simply because they are proud and because they can! I hope if Mr. Obama becomes President, the next time around black people will simply be able to vote for the best candidate. I have another poll question for you. Do you think if America elects a black man for its Presiden, the "white man keeps me down" rhetoric that leaders like Mr. (I hate calling him Reverend) Wright spews will have to end?

It's pretty obvious that race is a factor. Where ever african americans are very largely populated Obama wins the primary. Or where there are kids in college who don't understand the difference between a dem and republican. I think it is a shame the Obama keeps spewing out all this stuff at college kids and they keep believing it. They have no idea, it's going to be their butts on the line. His "change talk" has them all taken in. College kids these days can't think for themselves anymore. They are all like robots. They all even dress the same. That is how you know. They are all easily led. And, that is the future of our country. OH MY, what a shame. Let's all follow a man and vote for him just cause he says he wants to change the country. LOL What an original idea. ha ha ha. I sure hope if any college youth are reading this, and are voting for Obama, you reconsider, and start researching your path to your vote a little more, before it is too late. Please? Obama is not the God you make him out to be. Just listen a little closer with an open mind. No one else has to know you are doing it. Only you. Your mind is your own. You are the one who has the power to make change. Vote your mind, not what someone else is telling you you should vote, or voting what your friends are voting, just cause they want you to vote for their candadate. Be yourself. A wise man once said, " Above all, to thine own self be true". Be fair to you.

When more than 90% of blacks vote for Obama and when Barack accuses working class whites of clinging to guns and religion, you bet it's about race!

IT IS SAD TO SAY, BUT RACE IS THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME VOTERS, WHO ARE ONLY VOTING BECAUSE OF RACE, RATHER THAN THE ISSUES. BARACK TOLD WOLF BLITZER, '' THE AVERAGE, THE AVERAGE THAT IS!~!!!! INCOME IN USA IS SOME WHERE AROUND.........70,OOO.OO... IF BARACK GETS THE NOMINATION...... WHAT SUPRISES ARE IN STORE FOR THE DEMOCRATES... YOU KNOW LIKE THE REV. WRIGHT. GRETA, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION IS GENDER AN ISSUE FOR HILLARY?

race is a major factor, more so among blacks as they vote reguardless of obamas's inexperiance,character,

This man is so dangerous for our country and for the life of me I do not understand why they can not see him for what he really is!!!!!!

If Obama wins we've had it, If he doesn't win all blacks in every city & town in AMERICA will be having rapes of white people. beatings. @ gang wars wait & see . There will be nothing we can do.

when blacks can freely call each other niggers, but whites are ostricized if they ever utter the "N" word, there's a problem.

GRETA... BIG QUESTION..... IS GENDER AN ISSUE FOR HILLARY? WHY DO WOMEN MAKE LESS MONEY? WHO GOT TO VOTE FIRST..... BLACK OR WOMEN? WHEN WILL IT CHANGE. IS THERE EQUALIYY IN THE USA????? I SUPORTED MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, BOUGHT MY OWN HOME.... AND JUST WAS NEVER EQUALLY PAID. I DID WOMENS JOBS.............. I HAD MALE SUPERVISORS. ON BOSS SAID'' HIRE A SINGLE WOMEN' TRUE FACT........ BECAUSE THEY WILL DO WHAT EVER TO KEEP WORKING???? HIS NAME WAS DONALD BROWN OF AKRON OHIO....

Certainly, race has played a major part in this election. If Obama was not a black man, there would not be an issue with Rev. Wright. He made these statements years ago. All of my life I have heard remarks like those made by Rev. Wright from family members and in school. There is a problem with race in this nation. Here in Katy, Tx, some white residents are trying to "run the Muslims out of town", by having pig races and cookouts on the property next to theirs. Clinton says that she would be ready to answer the call at 2a.m., just remember Gov. Blanco. She was the governor of Louisiana and she was devasted the morning Hurricane Katrina hit, she did not know what to do.

This is in response to Shawn N. If Obama was white and the 92% of people who are voting for him were white, people would be saying it's a racist thing. There's nothing wrong with having pride in your race, but if situations were reversed and 92% of whites were voting for Clinton because of her race, you better believe people would be crying racism. The black people aren't voting Obama because they hate whites, that might be true, but they still are voting Obama because he is black. And in response to your other question; No, I don't believe in the slightest that the blacks would stop with the "White man holding us down" thing. All that is is an excuse, nothing more. No one is holding them back, if anything they have been more catered to with things like affirmative action.

I think the race issue is a major factor. I sincerely believe that it's been caused by Obama because on his relationship with Wright, his wife's remarks and those in his campaign. His speech in Philly pushed people to know his thinking. However, he will not receive my vote. Not because of his race but because I could not trust him & because he has no experience. I cannot think he could be elected for the most important job in the world with his qualifications. I have lost all respect for the Kennedy's, Kerry, etc. to support hiring someone with no experience to run this country. What we really need is a replacement of the senators in Congress!!

Race is not a factor to me, but apparently it is to his wife. She looks angry to me. I'm not voting for Obama if Clinton loses to him. My vote will be for a republican for the first time in my life. I cannot and will not vote for someone that I have so much doubt about. I don't even watch Oprah any more because she left her nest to go out on a limb for a politician. I don't believe she would have done that if there wasn't a black person involved. No wonder she has fallen so in the ratings. I will never watch her again. The other thing that turned me against Obama is that NBC more or less has told me I needed to vote for him. I don't watch them any more either. MSNBC was my favorite channel, but I haven't watched them for a while now and will not go back.

Fox can we not have your hosts be clearly biased as to their racial views? Clearly Obama has not conveyed any negative yet derogatory comments to the america people, but all that comes from your spokes people are the inflamatory remarks about race, their negative views about Obama, which are clearly not justified, and simplistic questions that are swayed to create a negative view toward him as a candidate. Does race matter? We directly know where Fox stands!!

HEY FOLKS I'VE FIGURED OUT WHY HILLARY WILL NOT BE ON THE TICKET WITH HISSIAN OBAMA? REV. WRIGHT WILL BE HIS RUNNING MATE. THAT'S IT FOLKS A WRIGHT HUSSIAN TICKET. OOPS I'M SORRY WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY HIS MIDDLE NAME. WHAT WILL WE DO IF HE WINS THE ELECTION WE CAN'T SAY OUR PRESIDENTS MIDDLE NAME?? WHAT A JOKE WAKE UP PEOPLE. WHY IS EVERYONE AFRAID TO SAY HIS MIDDLE NAME AFTER ALL HE COULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. THIS ELECTION ON BOTH SIDES IS THE WORST PICKS I'VE EVER SEEN. GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

The Democrats cannot get away from the fact that race will play a factor. Obama continues to play the race card (which is absolutely fine according to them) but the minute McCain says anything slightly controversial concerning race- he will be attacked.

100% Yes. No question about it. I live around Baltimore Maryland and you would have thought the second coming when blacks in the city heard there was a black man from Chicago running for Pres. Did these people have a clue for what he stands for NO he was BLACK and that is all they cared about. (sorry I refuse to use the "African") I don't call myself French, German, Scottish, Irish, decendant American. This "Political Correctness" is a bunch of BS why don't people just say what they mean and get it out in the open. Obama and his wife along with the rest who use "African" racist.

80-90% blocks of votes don't just happen; and the phenomenum of Obama getting thse number is totally due to the color of his skin. Had he not been black he would have never been considered.

I am a black female and I know that the vote is based on race. I voted for Hillary because she is the stronger candidate, but my black friends think that I am a sell out!

Of couse racism is a factor. A black would vote for a black no matter who he is. They see change as more black empowerment. Maybe even change the name of THE WHITE HOUSE to THE BLACK HOUSE.

CEC, I don't see you questioning Geoge H W & George W middle initials.

Fox can we not have your hosts be clearly biased as to their racial views? Clearly Obama has not conveyed any negative yet derogatory comments to the america people, but all that comes from your spokes people are the inflamatory remarks about race, their negative views about Obama, which are clearly not justified, and simplistic questions that are swayed to create a negative view toward him as a candidate.

I voted not a factor as it applies to me. I don't believe it would be as much of an issue as indicated by the majority in this poll if Obama hadn't unconsciously revealed his own bias and most importantly if his wife was a more approachable woman. I don't believe she is First Lady material...offguard camera shots show an unsophisticated nasty demeanor.

I am so happy to read all of the comments on this subject. I was beginning to feel that I was the only one who feels this way about it being a "race race". The comment from Chris about his black professor voting because it's a "historical moment in his African-American life" also happened to me. A black business associate of mine was "mesmerized" by the fact that he had "lived to see a black man run for President of the U.S." (I hated to tell him that the guy is STILL TRYING to run for President). I also LOVE Mary Frances Begley's comments! I, too, am a registered Republican, and LOVE Hillary and WILL vote for Hillary in November! So, how many of us Republicans prefer Hillary? Does ANYONE ever POLL us or INCLUDE US in the polls? NO! And ALL the comments about Michelle Obama are so "right on"! I swear she was in the front row of Jeremiah Wright's sermon, cheering and jumping up and down. Plus, speaking of Wright, what's up with his living large in the WHITE UPSCALE neighborhood? And what about the gay choir director from that same church who "had something on Obama" and was found murdered in his Chicago apartment? This is a scary situation. Change? Isn't a woman President a change? Isn't a Democrat a change? Obama will NEVER win the general election, and the people who commented about the primaries having different outcomes if all of this had come out sooner are so 100% correct! I don't think it is totally a race issue, but the majority of blacks are making it a race issue. Educated blacks like Maya Angelou are supporting Hillary Clinton. And if Colin Powell had run I don't think it would be like it is with Obama. But his "people surrounding him" are making race a definite factor which is totally unfair, biased and not very smart. Hillary Clinton has a good mix and variety (blacks and whites). Obama has mostly black voters supporting him. What does that tell you?

The "strong" candidates the Dems have brought forward for nomination are proving to be the weakest. Given the choices it is no wonder the blacks are 92% for Obama. Clinton has shown her political colors by making race an issue. The Clintons were the "black" candidates in the 90's in order to get the votes. They will do anything to advance their political/personal agendas. It is too bad Obama is proving to be less than he appeared at the beginning of the campaign.

It was not a factor with me until Mississippi and I realized 90% African Americans were voting for Obama?? I believed that to be racist, I witnessed the underhanded schemes and trickery, slurs and insults from the Obama supporters to HRC as "C" above comments. The Blacks willingness to draw and fire the RACIST weapon at the drop of a hat, as they took out Geraldine Ferrarro and or anyone who disagrees with BHO as a RACIST, even Hillary was called a Racist. Do we Americans really need that?? I'm sick of all this RACIST talk, that is what the Racist Candidate BHO has brought to the presidential race. The Irish, Italian, American Indian, German, we all have had our tough times. I like many other millions of people including many blacks, are tired of the RACIST topic, and want to move on to pressing problems confronting our nation, like health care, economy, infra structure, jobs, housing, oil, etc. Is this what a BHO presidential term is going to be like? gobs and gobs and gobs of racial talk till we can't stand it anymore? Most all of us are tired of it years ago. GIVE IT A BREAK, Screw the rules, no one has the right to gag 2.5 million voters, the United States still has 50 states, not 48 as Dean and Dean's buddy BHO say there is

Lolo, Thanks for your candor and sorry that your friends consider you a sell out.

Its all about race now. Obama spouted no racism to start with, but with every attack he has received, race has entered bigger and bigger. I guess he does not believe his own words about how there will never be equality until we all quit using the race card.

Whites have been voting for whites since the first election, and it continues in WV, but why is it an issue when blacks vote for blacks?

When there is a racist like Obama running for office, race will always be an issue. Obama will make sure race is an issue through his surrogates, and pretend like it isn’t him race bating. He and his people have already tried to portray anyone who doesn't like his communist/socialist views as racists.

Do you really think Obama brought race into this campaign? Until introduced by the network that you are responding to, Rev. Wright would have never been an issue in this campaign. Clearly you are all misguided and to easily influenced to see it.

People of power what you say is nothing but racist. Whites voted for whites because whites were the ones running. For the most part you don't see a 90/10 divide in one race. With the blacks it's obvious that they are voting for Obama because he is black. 92% of the blacks just happen to agree with everything that Obama stands for? Good luck convincing people of that.

Give me a break, of course race is a major factor and Obama is solely responsible. He's the guy that spent 20 years in the Wright church listening to anti-American and divisive sermons. Anyone that belongs to a church that long must feel comfortable in that environment.

If elected Obama will op to have the Nation of Islam guard him instead of the CIA. What does that tell ya????

ALL OF YOU WHITE VOTER SHOULD BE ASHAME OF YOURSELFS.. CALLING OBAMA A RACIST. YOU ALL NEED TO LOOK AT YOURSELFS IN THE MIRROR. AND YOU WILL SEE THE HATE IN YOUR HEARTS IT'S IN YOUR HISTORY ..BLACK AMERICANS WANT HIM TO WIN BECAUSE OF PRIDE, TO BE PRESIDENT WOW! WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE MOUTAIN TOP LIKE DR KING SAID SO LONG AGO, WHITES AMERICANS DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AND NEVER WILL, BECAUSE OF YOUR PASS HISTORY!! WHITE WORKING CLASS VOTERS! WHAT THAT ALL ABOUT! LIKE ONLY WHITES WARK HARD! IT'S A DAMN ASHAME!!! BLACKS ARE RACIST? WELL IT WAS YOUR PEOPLE (WHITES) WHO STARTED IT ALL SO LONG AGO... THE MAN IN THE MIRRIOR I SAY TO YOU ALL TAKE A LOOK AT IT!

Obama has divided this country and his race is keeping him in the running. If Obama was white the top democrats would of been Hillary vs. Edwards. Everybody has miss the point that Obama recieved most of his votes before the Wright scandal. Since the Wright scandal Hillary would be head and sholders ahead.

As far as race is concerned, I'm concerned about a black man WITH a black agenda.

Think .... Of course Obama brought race into the campaign. It is the only thing he has brought to the campaign other than empty rhetoric, bumper sticker, no-answers to important questions bull crap. Obama is a snake oil, con man salesman, better suited to selling used cars.

Empty vessel: you speak of the guy leaving in January of 2009.

Is there any doubt left that Democrats are Racist. Plain and simple, 92%percent of Blacks are voting for Obama and 92% of White Blue Collar Democrats are NOT. What a shame as I would take anything over the Clinton and Bush machines.

John from Cleveland What you said is racist. I voted for Hillary because Obama is a liar, deceptive, weak, and a fake. If Condelizza Rice was running I would voter for her because I trust her and think she is brilliant. Obama is a Obamanation.

PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE FOLLOWING: 1. OBAMA CLAIMS SPECIAL BIRTH. MUCH MORE THAN WE MIGHT BELIEVE. REPORTS EMANATING FROM AFRICA ALLEGE HIS MOTHER WAS IN KENYA WITH HIS ARAB KENYAN (NOT BLACK KENYAN) FATHER--THIS IS CLEARLY SHOWN IN KENYAN GOVT. REGISTRY DOCUMENTS WHICH LIST THE FATHER AS AN ARAB KENYAN--AT A VERY LATE TERM IN HER PREGANCY AND WAS NOT ALLOWED ON A FLIGHT TO RETURN TO HAWAII. SHE GAVE BIRTH TO HIM IN KENYA, IMMEDIATELY GOT ON A PLANE AND THEN REGISTERED HIM AS BEING BORN IN HAWAII. 2. HE IS NOT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN BUT AN ARAB AMERICAN AND CANNOT CLAIM AFRICAN MINORITY STATUS, WHICH BY US FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE A PERSON TO HAVE 1/8 (ONE EIGHTH) OF THE MINORITY BLOOD (12%). FROM HIS MOTHER HE HAS 50% WHITE BLOOD, FROM HIS FATHER HE HAS 43.25% ARAB BLOOD AND FROM HIS MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER HE MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO 6.75% AFRICAN OR BLACK HERITAGE BLOOD. HE HAS HAD TO DUCK AND WEAVE ALL HIS LIFE AND USE WHATEVER LIES HE COULD USE TO EVEN PASS FOR BLACK AND THE BENEFITS THIS MINORITY STATUS PROVIDED. SO EVEN THIS, WHILE UNDERSTANDABLE--IA A DOCOUMENTED LIE.

Richard meant, I voted for Obama because Hillary is a liar, deceptive, weak and a fake...

WHEN JESUS COMES BACK ALL YOU RACIST PEOPLE WILL BURN IN HELL! KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, SPREADING HATE!! BURN BURN..TILL HATE IS NO MORE.

Obama's racism really muddied this campaign.

I can vote for a black candidate, but not this one. For me, it's his ultra-liberal stance that is the killer. I could see voting for Michael Steele, for example, if he were to get more experience (perhaps as a governor) first. I have been very disturbed to see how racist the black leadership in this country is. Race relations will never normalize as long as black leaders preach anti-American anti-white hatred. But that's fodder for another Greta question.

I believe that white working class voters are paying attention to the issues that are affecting Americans. His solutions for them. which Sen Obama is not addressing, keeps changing his mind about or leaning more and more towards Hillary's solutions. What change is he talking about anyway? The status quo in Washington? What is that anyway? What are his plans to change that? Does he think if he wins the Republicans will be more apt to be bipartisan? Not likely. Actually, the Dems will be less likely to push any legislation he wants because he has offended them so many times with his "status quo" statements. Many of the black "newly registered" voters never voted before even if they were of age and will probably not vote again unless there is a black candidate to "inspire" them to. It is too bad that they haven't cared enough in the past about America and her direction, it could have made a difference and changed the appearance that this nomination is all about race and their want for a black President, not because he is qualified, but because he is black.

Micheal Steele is an uncle tom, and Hillary calling saying she has the white vote isn't racist? get real

Obama is only where he is because he has 90% of the black vote and the ultra liberal television networks are in the tank for him (msnbc, nbc). What a shame - the democratic primary has been so tilted toward Obama by the likes of Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, etc. They'll be sorry someday for not keeping this campaign more fair and balanced!!!!!

Think ... You are correct. It will be a terrible day for the USA when the Great President Bush and VP Cheney have to leave. What we really need is another Bush/Cheney term. The last thing we need is for Obama, the lying, racist, corrupt, con man, snake oil salesman to even get the Democrat/socialist/communist nomination. Obama is scum.

Dude if you think Bush/Cheney are Great for this country you are a complete fool

I wonder if Greta will investigate the Kenya/Hawaii/America status of Obama? She certainly has the resources to do so and it would be interesting to have this "on the record".

TO JOHN IN CLEVELAND, READ YOUR OWN WORDS. HATE... WOWEE LIVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. DO BELIEVERS FORGIVE, DO THEY USE HATE AND BURN? ARE YOU LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT..... EVERY ONE HAS A HISTORY. NOW LETS GET ON WITH WHO CAN DO THE MOST FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THE FOREIGN RELATIONS. SO WE ALL CAN BE PROUD AGAIN. PLOOMS ARE NOT GOOD..........POOR LITTLE OLE MEE...PLOOMS.. JUST A WOMAN HERE. VOTE FOR HILLARY JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN???? YOUR MOTHER, SISTER AND WIFE, HUMMM ARE NOT EVER TO BE PRESIDENT?

Black Guy in Florida ... If you don't think Bush/Cheney were and still are Great for this country , YOU ARE AN IDIOT. An uninformed, ignorant, unrealistic, naive, foolish IDIOT.

Mean=== Why don't you turn on CNN or MSNBC then cause they are so biased against Hillary Clinton that it makes me sick! Just wait till the news stations actually start reporting about his corruptness in Illinois. Maybe they are holding that story for the General Election instead of informing the voters now. I am also a COLLEGE EDUCATED person , and I voted for Clinton. I am really tired of the media saying un-educated people are voting for Hillary. Give Me A Break!!! Obama WILL NOT get my vote!!!

race should not be an issue in any election it should be about the person running for the office.being from chicago i know this is not the right guy.He was selected to run by the media in this country(the elitist left) when he was having a hard time in his senatorial bid in illinois.The chicago press got a california judge to open his opponents divorce decree and smeared him with sexual innuendo till he dropped out of the race and obama walked right in.the only reason hilliary had any problems was she counted the black vote in her bag figuring she was going to run against one of the other white guys.errol

Pretty simple-minded ideas being thrown out here. WHOAH! Let me run this list down, he's 1)black 2)muslim 3)elitist (most of you here prob don't know what this means!) 4)bitter (no it's not that first sip of beer you drink out of your skunked PBR!) 5)thinks y'all are ignant! i believe in GOD and i remember that according to the scriptures, "Hell hath no fury as the fury of GOD." p.s. that fury is not directed towards the merciful, but instead, the ignorant!

Hey Gretta, Like it or not, race is a major factor in this race. We're all recists to a certain degree. The old saying "birds of a feather flock together" is pretty true. Racism is necessarily based on hate. We're not robots. We tend to vote for people we find likable and who look like us. Most black voters will probably say they vote for Obama because of the issues but I'll bet few really know his positions on the issues which means most blacks are voting for Obama because he looks like them. This does not surprise me.

Well race isn't my issue. BO said after Iowa" they don't even look like me" I think who cares. He has no real experience, in my opinnion. His wife has even less. I can see the black community wanting him in the White House and I understand. I wouldn't mind! Yet lets get experience first then vote him in. He skirts around issues . I want a denocrat in the white house, yet it looks like not this year, unless Hilary gets in.

I am one of those working class people that Obama cannot seem to win over.I love his message,but I could use all 4000 characters I am allowed in this comment to passionately state things I would love to change without any real plan of action to make it happen.The simple truth is that while some educated blacks see thru Obama and do from time to time express the transparency they see---Most blacks are behind Obama just because he is black--if whites did the same there would be riots in the streets-shame on black America for unbelievable hipocricy--if my spelling is off please remember that I am that working class guy with no college degree,so how can what I say matter--guess I will go to work now and break my back to help pay for everything in this nation.

i would never vote for a black person to be my president. i have never voted for a democrat and i never will. hussein obama is a commie.

Obama is the product of a white mother and a black father - why do Obama and the democrats acknowledge and embrace only the black portion ?

I strongly believe Race is a factor. I grew up in New york city and lived my adult life in Philadelphia. We are segrigated people. We even segrigate Italion and Irish. We like USA should be ruled by "our kind of people." I am Italion but I like what Sean Hannity( Irish Catholic) said is correct. Republican Americans should wake up. Other wise John McCane will loose to inexperienced Barack Hussen Obama and his Afrocentric wife Michell Obama. Mrs. Obama is super racist. Mr. Obama is guided by her.

I have a request. All the Hillary supporter and Republicans should get togather and fight for McCane. He is "one of us." He is working hard. Please support him. Get to his web site and donate $20. That is showing your support *grass root support). Obama supporter is doing it. Why not you? He need your support.

Sad as it may be, if your skin color is black you'll vote Obama. The really funny thing is he condemns others for making this a race issue but it IS a race issue. If you setup a lifelike cardboard figure of a black man at least 90% of blacks would vote for the figure. They don't appear at least to care about ethics, morality, integrity OR THAT THIS MAN VOTED FOR PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTIONS! Just that he's black. Dumber than a bed bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it so amazing that so many BLACK'S are racists. Lets be honest now; one is not born racist. IT IS TAUGHT!! Where: home, parents, teachers, friends, PREACHERS? When little children play together because their ok with each other and if they are not its not about skin color. QUIT TEACHING HATE IN THE BLACK CHURCHES! Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, are so racist and these are just 3. Its all about Black Power!

mike: RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have Wright to thank for that. Also, it wasn't pleasant to learn that African/American-based churches dwell so much on racial issues in Sunday sermons. It was reported as an accepted fact while I'm praying for the past to leave all of our lives, our consciences, and never appear in our society again. After learning how those like Wright are still perpetuating it and blaming me for something I didn't do, then I give up! Listening to Wright's rants drove me to the point for the first time in my life of thinking, "what will be, will be if we're not all on the same page". It's unfortunate for all of us; I want us to stop thinking "race" anything and just be happy people!

WRONG PB: Thank your wonderful media like Fox New. Rev Wright's sermons have been televised for over 4 years on TV stations in Chicago and preaching for over 30 years... and no one's had a problem. If you knew any substance about many of his sermons you would understand that politics less than 5% is what the media looped for weeks. The rest is strictly about what is in the Bible. As long as white churches are allowed to preach sermons tailored to a white congregation, help poor whites, and do missionary work in 3rd world countries, Rev Wright's church can preach a sermon tailored to the black community and can serve the inner city poor black community, and do missionary work in 3rd world countries. I am sure you took over an hour of your life to listen to such media as Fox continue to spin Rev Wright's comments. Take an hour and look at the Bill Moyer interview>>> http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04252008/profile.html <<< I am sure your prayers are wonderful, but blacks have prayed a different prayer for a few generations now... a prayer that our families don't get separated like the litter of a family pet, or that we don't get lynched, or to bring you more current [since you think it is so much in the past] praying that my hard work building a career and my hard work getting good grades in school will land me a good job to support my family, or will I get bumped by some slacker white guy that has a good golf game. Or maybe I should pray that my grandchild is getting the same education in our inner city school as white kids are getting in the suburbs. As you 'pray' for us to leave the past behind and sweep it all under the rug, I NOW live with the scars from that time in history. I have never committed a crime in my life, but yet I have looked down the barrel of a policeman's gun because of mistaken identity... just a twitchy trigger finger away from death. That happens NOW, so don't think it is so much in our past history. I respect that you pray. I understand that many whites have struggles. But with the experience of blacks in America, don't tell blacks how we should pray. Don't tell us who should or shouldn't lead us in prayer because you can't relate. Don't try to tell us how we should pray to the same God that has kept us in existence even though whites have tried their best to destroy us and our culture. Lack of acknowledgement of the affects of the unique and bloody history of blacks in America shows the true hypocrisy of your prayers.

And by the way. Thinking black people vote only for a black candidate due to color is an insult. I have votes every year since I could vote. I have voted for the candidate that best has MY interest in mind. In all cases except for Jesse and Sharpton, I have had a choice of white males. Obama is BIRACIAL if not MULTIRACIAL! No matter how you try to spin race into this race, he has fought for ALL working Americans. That is why he is going to win. I, like many others, am choosing for us to spend US dollars here at home and not burn them in Iraq. That is why McCane is going to lose. It has nothing to do with race. Obama being multiracial is a welcome change on top of he being a great candidate.

SLAVERY is over. Quit living as if you've BEEN a slave. You only have to holler "racism" and the world jumps. I'm rather sick of it. YOU blacks have it better than White's do. You get fired from a job and "its because I'm black" and the government worries about the possibility of black uprising. When Rodney King was beat I saw black people stealing and robbing as an excuse for the King episode. Its nauseating. When I was a kid the shops in the Black community all had bars on them to keep their own people from robbing them! Its all the "Whitey's" fault because many in your communities don't stay in school but have 10 kids that we, the taxpayers, are paying for. You people want it all, for free, and the rest of us should pay. You don't deserve anything over and above anyone else. Equal, based on the person. Its great that you'd all be supporting a man that believes that partial birth abortions are ok. When you don't even care about your own babys, black - white - whatever, your not even human. I get so sick of these blogs and the people that think that somehow they deserve MORE than others - and they speak of racism. Blacks hate whites, thats the racism I'm finding out about!

EARL: Obama has run away from some of the most important votes in the senate. You better do some real research, of course your Black, and since Obama seems to hate White people and believes in Black Power, I can understand why all of you are voting for him BECAUSE he's black! Don't be insulted - it IS because of his skin color your all voting for him. Just facts my man, just the facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SICK OF IT - Yes, slavery is over, but how can you have an ounce of intelligence and say generations of destruction towards a group HASN'T affected how they function TODAY. Successful people have role models in their family that have influenced them to be successful. When there have been limits put on the successes of potential role models, it becomes challenging to encourage children to excel. I am not one to say that every time I was passed over for an opportunity it was because I was black. I never said that, but sometimes when it looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, its a duck. I have NEVER expect a free ride, I only want the same opportunity for my hard work as white men get. It is better than it was 30 years ago, but it is not an even playing field yet. I don't know where you get that all blacks, or as you call us, 'you people' want to be given a hand out. There are people in all racial groups that are slackers and want something for nothing. If you don't know... it is white rural people that get the most from the welfare system. It is white females that benefit the most from affirmative action. It is not me 'acting like I have been a slave' as you claim, it is you people that want to keep this good ol' boy system going. It is you white people that think you are entitled to have all the meat from the table and drop the scraps on the floor for everyone else. You speak so proudly of not wanting to kill babies, but what about McCane wanting to keep this war going. Do you think there are Iraqi babies dying? If you valued life so much, you would be against any war where innocent civilians get killed...

BECAUSE HE'S BLACK - Correction... Whites like you will look for anything to discredit a black candidate JUST because he is black. Here's Obama’s record: During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. Compare that to Clinton who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years. I think YOU need to do your research better. I vote for a candidate that is about getting things done. You don't gain the support he is getting by doing nothing. Don't believe the Obama hate.
