There are a whole lot of white people in this country that voted for Obama, and I know that at least in my case and my friends' cases, it had NOTHING to do with race. There are many people in this country that don't give a second thought to race in these matters, though I know that for some people from some circles and parts of the country, that's hard to believe. What makes you think we're so stupid and naive as to NOT vote for the candidate that shares our views on policy? You do know that there are people in this country that believe in the platform of the democrat party, don't you? I would have voted for whichever candidate shares my ideals, which is usually a democrat. I would have voted for Hillary or Biden if they were the prez candidate, too. John McCain does not believe in or prioritize the things I care about most, which is why I would've never voted for him. Obama does, and that is why I voted for him.
