Mine was at the very beginning!
but...a few random thoughts:
I was listening to baisden's show yesterday and he asked a white caller why he would vote for Obama **BTW DST did you hear that** and he his reply was that Obama was refreshing, clean looking, and very articlulate...and I had a Chris Rock flashback.
What was odd (and to a point not surprising) was that the caller never really mentioned anything about Barack's platform and if whether or not he agreed with it...
IMO, it's just as bad as if a Black person votes for Barack simply based on the fact that he is Black.
So even I wonder if they know what and why they will vote for him IF they vote for him.
so....there's the rub. White men will not, repeat will not, vote for Mrs. Clinton. Democratic white men are voting for Obama instead. If Mrs. Clinton is the Democrats' nominee, they'll vote Republican. If Obama is, they'll have to make another decision, but we don't know what it will be until all the votes are counted.
So, is race still a factor moreso than gender?
ETA: What I find even more of a cunundrum is a question of how conservative Repubs are going to vote. From what I have been hearing is that they hate McCain so much that if it comes right down to it, they will "spite vote" Hillary in just to keep McCain out of office. So, what is the plan if Obama is nominated? He is pro life, anti spending, a war hero and so on....what more can they want? I see a hard decision for many come November regardless of which way the Dems nominate.
