I will not be voting for Obama simply because he is a democrat! I would vote for him if he believed the same things I do, regardless of his skin color! I believe to heavily in economic freedom for the people to vote for a democrat even though I hold some socially liberal stances. Do you think the liberals would call me a racist if Obama lost to a white person with my beliefs? Do you believe it is racism? Would you vote for a black man? Just to let everyone know, I am not voting for a republican either this upcoming election! I am voting libertarian!

Sorry, I don't believe in either of the parties so why would I want to vote for either? I am not throwing my vote away when I vote libertarian, I'm setting an example. Now back to the question......

First, I doubt the DNC will nominate Barack over Hillary. Second, after reading what Barack and his church stand for, I am convinced Barack is a racist. Got to the "About Us" page of his church's web site (Trinity United Church of Christ). Read through it; then substitute "white" or "caucasian" every place it says "black" or "African". If a white candidate were running and attended that church, the press would rip him apart, labeling him a racist. And rightfully so; it's extremely exclusionary.
So, to answer your question... yes, if Barack loses I believe "racism" will will catch the blame. Problem is, it's Barack's racism, not society's, that will be the cause.

I am happy to see someone who shares the same ideals as myself. You should know, however, that the Libertarian/Constitutionalist Texas Congressman Ron Paul is going to be running on the Republican ticket. He's doing this because it's become evident that only the Dems and Repubs receive serious media attention. However, make no mistake; he's going to be pushing the Libertarian agenda.
Ethnicity means nothing to me. We are all human. I admit there are some inherent differences between the races. I risk sounding racist, but it's obvious that certain races are slightly more intelligent than other races. It's also true that the slightly less intelligent races are usually physically superior to the other races. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. I believe that Obama is extremely intelligent. However, he's just another puppet in the Democratic party.
I won't vote for anyone unless they recognize that the Federal Reserve has enslaved our people. Ron Paul has recognized this and has vowed to repeal the 16th amendment.

Well, i'm republican, but thats beside the point. I know they wouldn't blame racism for his loss. Especially since he's obviously not their only candidate. I know right now he's not doing as well as he probably wishes. One thing I remember hearing about him on the news is that he's kind of new. When he first announced his candidacy, people were sort of opposed because they didn't know where he stood as far as his beliefs. Oh yeah in this election there's a lot of variety, if you will(not meant to be offensive). In the 2008 election there are candidates from many different backgrounds(ethnic, gender, religous) and they're not all democrat. So if Obama somehow claims its racism, then he's overlooking the backgrounds of the other candidates that didn't make it.

Bleah, another guy who thinks by throwing his vote away on a meaningless party that he is somehow doing some good. You should get serious and vote for someone who has a chance to win. If the people that voted libertarian a few years back hadn't been so foolish, there might be no war in Iraq and the US would still be the moral world leaders including the fight against global warming.

No. I think Obama will be a good candidate ,but not in 2008. My decision not to vote for him is based on his inexperience, not race. I think he should be running for Vice President and then President in the future.
What really bothers me is that a lot of people on the boards actually say they would vote for a black man before a woman. Why is sexism tolerated over racism??? I think it's all a bunch of cra*. Let's vote for the best person for the job, not based on race or sex!

because of fact of this they have been suing such dissimilar States that are conflict floor States that way if Obama loses then they have reason to sue in Federal court docket. The humorous element is that a liberal journalist even spelled this out interior the Cleveland ordinary broking. yet that's not marvelous on the grounds that they sued after Gore lost Florida and that i nonetheless you should on the present time how Al Gore had to have all Ralph Nadar votes positioned on his facet on the grounds that he replaced into their 2d determination and might somewhat have him in place of work somewhat of Bush. Then they tried to cry foul in the process the 2004 election in Ohio whilst they allowed college scholars to vote interior the college city somewhat of abode of checklist. Small college cities observed over one hundred% boost in voters for that election above the norm and that they did not have the kit needed because of fact it wasn't somewhat revealed.

Yes, I'm sure they would blame it partially on his race. This could be true because there are some people who would not vote for him because of his race! You have to face that fact the same as you have to face the fact that there are some who would not vote for a woman for President simply because of their being female.
These are just facts of life. There is prejudice in this country! Hello!

I am afraid that the democrats would make a mistake if they did blame racism if he loses, since that would be admitting that the majority of voters in the US are racist, and they just cannot afford to make that kind of statement. But that wont stop them,. Im sure

Obama himself has said if he loses it will not be because of racism, he has said that it will be because he has not gotten his message out good enough. So no you are not a raciest for simply voting for somebody else, maybe a fool, but not a raciest.

And here's the kicker: Some of Obama's ancestors owned slaves!
Cool.
(But, remember this: Obama is Not running for president. He's running for Hillary's VP. So he's willing to be her slave.)
COOL!!!!!!
He's a bigger liar & hypocrite than Hillary.
