If Barack Obama loses…
…and you want to say the reason he lost is racism…
…then you’ll have to point your finger at racism from inside the Democratic Party.
Here’s my reasoning:
The country remains basically split 50/50 between Republicans and Democrats.
The 48% or so who vote Republican would vote for John McCain regardless of who the Democratic nominee was.
(That’s not to say that there are no racist Republicans. My point is that any Republican racism is irrelevant in this case because Republicans were going to vote for “their” guy whether the Democrat’s nominated Barack Obama, generic cialis remedy Hillary Clinton, for sale or Joe Biden.)
The problem lies with Democrats (and to some extent Independents).
The numbers say that if Barack Obama loses, nurse it will only be because members of his own party didn’t vote for him.
So if Barack Obama loses, and you’re a Democrat who thinks the reason he lost was racism, you’re going to have to take a good hard look at your own party.
