I am hearing a lot of optimism for Barack. I like him and know he is the best for the job, because out of all the candidates he seems to be trying his hardest. For example he was talking about making a page to to expose all of the Government's spending and it is up already:

or the bill that was veto'd to bring back the solders from Iran. However, I stand by my opinion. America is too racist to accept a black leader. Why?
Look at the hate crime stats 62% of all racial hate crimes are towards blacks:

Tells you something doesn't it and that was just last year.

I'm thinking John Edward or a republican.

Umm no, its white on black, take a look at the FED 2007 instigator stats...

If Americans don't want blacks, or females, guess that leaves Republicans this time around.

If you look at the polls that compare candidates to those of the other party, Obama is doing better then Hillary. Edwards compares best to the Republican contenders but he is unlikely to win the Democratic primary. The same is true with McCain and the Republicans as his support in a Presidential election is greatly influenced by independents who may be barred from voting in the primary (they usually have to claim a party).
I personally feel that America is beyond race and gender as a primary motivation on who to vote for. As far as hate crime statistics, they are misleading as there is a double standard involved. Rarely will a black person be charged with a hate crime but when a white person wrongs a black person, even the slightest act will be charged as a hate crime. The Jena six are a case in point; a nonquestionable hate crime that was never prosecuted as such.

Race has little to do with why Obama won't win. But I won't take your bet because he's never stood a chance. Hitlery won't win either and little lord Edwards is so full of himself he just doesn't have a clue. No, the dim's will again shoot themselves in the foot. Actually they already have look at that approval rating and the lack of pushing legislation through that was their mandate for election.
Of course over half that hate crime statistic is black on black but you folk's hearts bleed too much and you're far too PC to admit that.

John Edwards or a Republican?
I'll call your supposed royal flush and declare a mis-game.
No one could go for either Edwards or a GOP unless they were just saying that to confuse the field.
You know what I mean?

Ron Paul will win the election. Barack Obama will most certainly win the democratic nomination. He needs to come back in 2012 though or 16. if for some reason Ron doesn't win the republican nomination. Then Obama will be our next president.

America isnt that racist. The media makes it seem worst than it really is. I actually think hes likely to get the nomination, but he'll lose in the general due to his stance on immigration (which both blacks andd whites are against btw)..

I am for Edwards but I also like Barack Obama. I think that most people but not all, who wouldn't vote for Obama because he's black, or Hillary, because she's a women also wouldn't vote Democrat anyway.

I don't think he will win the presidency,BUT,he might get to be the vice president,which ain't a bad thing either! More likely Edwards will get the V.P.nod though. Obama is still a young man,and is ahead of his time,give him another 20 years and the rest of the world will catch up to him,unless some dumba$$, red neck, "inbred Jed" shoots him ,but?,,,oh?,,,wha?,,who?,,,Oh well that's me talking "politics" again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I sure hope he pulls it off.
I think those idiots who are that racist aren't really the ones who actually go out and vote.
I dont know. I really hope he can do this.
