I've seen it time and time again. First, David Dinkins was supposed to beat Rudy Guiliani for New York City major by a HUGE majority; in fact, he won by only the slimmest of margins.
Same thing with Harold Ford, Jr. running for the Senate from Tennesse in 2006. He was neck-and-neck in the polls until someone showed a white girl saying "call me". He lost by more than pollsters had thought.
What do these political races (and others) have in common? IN POLLS, PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK NON-DISCRIMINATORY; IN THE ACTUAL ELECTION, THEY *DO* DISCRIMINATE.

Sadly, Obama is a Zionist pig like Hillary and most of the others. I am voting for Ron Paul, a true American that cares for the American taxpayer and preserving our Treasury, Rights, and our Constitution.

I feel that Obama does have a good chance at getting a large percentage of the vote. The imporant thing here is to consider his competition, a woman. Unless John Edwards can really get momentum before the primaries, I feel that Obama will do exceptionally well, partly because of his policy, and partly because people are more comfortable with a black man in office than a woman. Wrong? yes, but this is how life is.
In the general election, I have a strong suspicion the race will come down to the majority voting for what appears to be the biggest opposite of Bush.

I plan to vote for Obama.
He is honest, sensible, supports the Constitution and wants to put the people back in charge.

People should vote for a candidate because they know his or her voting record and are familiar with their platforms, not because of their color.
I believe Obama supporters are a young, college aged group that will vote for him because they know somethng about him.
Not because he's popular, good looking, or a great family man.

I will absolutely vote for him. Every vote counts, especially in this very tight race.
