Wasn't even close in Tennessee, and that's where I'm speaking from. And also, this isn't the highly populated areas. So maybe I shouldn't have stressed the droves, because the impact might be negligible. But I would like to see an African American win the GOP primary just so I can hear them backtrack into "both parties are stupid" to avoid the obvious racism. And no, I'm not saying GOPers are racist, just a lot of the people I know in rural Tennessee.

edit: And the Southern Democrat hasn't existed since the 70s. Something to with "State's rights."

So because he lost TN that means people in TN are racist? Nice logic there.

Oh, by the way, Al Gore lost TN and he's from here. He's white in case you don't know.

seems like a lot of white people in the south voted for him:

Happens all the time.

Anyone with half a brain or any memory would not have felt assured a black president could win. I don't know why, it's been done so many times.

I recall a Stop Hillary express campaign to channel the D party away from her and towards the perceived weaker candidate, Obama.

Fine, maybe we will have to wait until primaries to see how the Southern states vote if Cain is in the race.

so it's Sean Hannity's fault that Obama was elected?

wow, some people ascribe way too much power to talk radio

democrats, btw, had a similar strategy in states where the GOP had open primaries, eventually saddling us with John McCain and Caribou Barbie

Hillary's candidacy began to go downhill when she was caught in a lie regarding her "dodging sniper fire" in Kosovo.

Well, it's it's official: you're a prick. I stated many times I'm not a racist but you obviously think I'm a bigoted liar. All I did was point out a sad fact regarding Southern culture but all along I was just a closeted racist. I would ask everyone on this board who was actually from the south to objectively think about my original assertion and provide an opinion. Since you are not from here, your opinion means less to me than my dog's last bowel movement.

there's a lot of racism in the North as well, anybody who thinks the South has exclusivity on that matter is deluding themselves

I'd go so far as to say that it's even worse up north

Do conservatives did not influence the D candidate, but the D's saddled the R's with McCain?

Absolutely true that its everywhere, but I think it comes in different degree and forms depending on where you are (and where you are from). But, I don't know that I'd ever agree that, on the whole, its worse in the North than the South.

(P.S. It depends on where, in the South, you are. I think it is less an issue in certain parts of Florida (South Florida, for example) than others (Tallahassee). I think its less of an issue in Atlanta than Decatur. You get the idea -- generally the more cosmopolitan and urban the area, the more educated the area, the higher the standard of living, the less overt racism there is.

I realize the seeming contradiction in my post, but you specifically mentioned Hannity's "Stop Hillary Express". Rush also had his "Operation Chaos". Both of these efforts were pretty easily countered by the democrats, so things were pretty much a wash and the country as a whole was saddled with two bad candidates.

the NYT helped by endorsing John McCain then reversed course when it posted a front page story about his illicit affair with a campaign staffer, which I think happened after the conventions

the real question is the degree and if it really effects the election. obama winning by a wide margin over a white old guy would suggest the degree isn't great enough to even have this debate.
