scott4261: "This is no surprise to me."
To me neither. Two days ago some friends were guessing who the next president of the US would be. When they asked me, I said: McCain. "You are hoping for McCain?" they asked, shocked. "No, I'm afraid he will be the president," I said. In spite of all indications to the contrary, I don't think the US is ready to elect either a woman or a (half) black man. People claim that they are not prejudiced, but on election day the real feelings will come out.
I still hope though that I'm wrong.

...bloody Propeller. Not only did it lose my comment, it also decided to sign me out...
Anyway, in a nutshell I stated that you are wrong and be happy because of it. Either Democratic candidate will win this race. At this point the polls are unreliable and, due to the advent of the internet, corporate media is becoming less and less influential. If Obama DOES lose it won't be due to race. It will be because of a culture that believes experience trumps ability. Obama is winning the idealistic vote, who believes things can be better and must be better. Different philosophies, but, at the end of the day most of the experience voters who are Dems will back Obama. The "whites" that have voted Clinton due so because experience is important to them... economics actually is determining the vote more then race. Also the young vote will trump the racist vote if it comes to that, IMO. Frankly either Hillary or Barack can win this thing hands down in November.

Candida, the thing that makes me really sad about this is that the people who won't vote for Obama are many of the people who were apparently traumatized by the moral failings of our previous President. Yet, when George Bush got into office and alienated most of our allies, suddenly what the rest of the world thought of us was totally irrelevant to them. Neocons aren't ashamed of having voted for Bush twice (or they would never admit it) and they don't have any idea how much lower the international community's opinion of us will sink if we elect McCain (especially after the last 8 years) over either Hillary or Obama. ;-(
