It must be comforting for some liberals that they are in tune with one of the great thug-dictators of all time. Keep thinking it's racism when Obie loses*; perpetuate the myth of racism and you nourish the blind stupidity that defines so many Obama supporters.
Castro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama
HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.
Also See the Debra J. Saunders commentary titled
"Playing the Race Card". She explains quite effectively how the "race card" is being employed now. Here's some quotes:
The race card is back. After Tuesday night's debate, Washington party-crossover dean David Gergen announced it was "too early" to declare victory for Democrat Barack Obama, not because the election is a month away,
but because "Obama is black."....her (Palin's reference to the Obama/Ayers association) attack was unsubstantiated and carried a
racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret."....I don't think Obama and Ayers were pals so much as co-believers of a trendy left-leaning and standards-hostile philosophy on education...And, Ayers is white. So it's hard to figure out how the AP writer construed Palin's remarks as "racially tinged,"
unless you see race in absolutely everything....According to a Time poll, 43 percent of white men and 48 percent of white women say they will vote for Obama, while 97 percent of black voters support Obama....there is something incongruous in examining the racism in a group that plans on voting more than 40 percent for a candidate of a different color, while ignoring a bloc expected to
vote within its color lines almost exclusively....the American voter has demonstrated a
conservative streak when it comes to the country's commander in chief. The American electorate has not bestowed more than 50 percent of the popular vote on the Democratic nominee since 1976 when Jimmy Carter won the White House for one term.

Did you catch James Carville's remark the other day: "if Obama is ahead by 5 points on E day and loses; it's gonna be traumatic" Was he talking riots here?

No i think he was citing the Bradley effect.
But then Car-vile is about as relevant as "Dick" Morris.
