You're not going to find that link. And judging from the way he is running right now, a lot of Caucasians must be for him. I think most intelligent Americans have evolved from that type of mentality.

I'm not sure that such a statistic exists. I am a Republican so obviously, I wont be voting for him. Obama is the best candidate that the Democrats have produced in quite some time. He has charisma, and is very witty. He has done better than Hillary in all of the Democratic debates. As long as he keeps his character, his future is bright. I see him rallying Democrats together for quite some time. I don't know of anyone not voting for him because he is black. However, I know several people, women included, that will not vote for Hillary because she is a woman.

You won't find a site that says that, at least not a reputable one...
I'm sure there are people in America that would not vote for Barrack Obama because he is black, but it would be an overwhelming minority and would not be trackable. There are also people that would not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon, Huckabee because he is a Baptist, Hillary because she is a woman, etc etc etc.
I believe you are misguided if you believe that there is a statistic that says that these people will not vote for a black man because.... and these people will because.... Obviously there will be a correlation between black voters and Obama, as there will be with women and Hillary, and Romney and Mormons, etc. But if you're looking at more of a "people from Mississippi won't vote for Obama because they hate blacks in Mississippi" you just aren't going to find it.
Let me ask you this..... If there are so many people that won't vote for a black man, then why is Obama 2nd in the nation among the Democrats running for president? Hillary leads, but Obama is right behind her. Even more.... Obama, a black man, is leading 6 others, 5 of whom are white men. So your theory that Americans won't vote for a black person is absolutely flawed.
*note: In the interest of full disclosure, I'm not voting for Obama, not due to his race, but due to his politics. I support Mike Huckabee.

I dont know why you are asking this question but I dont think you will find a reputable site that has such a statistic. Barack Obama is almost neck and neck with Hillary Clinton and that alone should show you that being black is not hurting him very badly.

Fact. Baracka Hussein Obama,Jr., is not Black. Hussein is of mixed race, being 50% White, and 50% Black. He is running as a Black because it is politically expedient. The best website to find information about Hussein Obama's background and history is: http://freedomsenemies.com/_mor/oba, and newsbusters.org. There are many, many valid reasons not to vote for Hussein, and race is not one of them. He is totally lacking in experience, and has no detailed agenda. Source: Ralph Nader, and Krugman, New York Times. Also, many isssues of integrity and hypocracies,well documented, would cause intelligent voters not to vote for him.

Considering that every head to head poll involving Obama has him winning I think you will struggle to find statistics that prove he would lose.

Sorry, I don't know of any, but I would vote for him if it is a choice between him or Hillary. Color has nothing to do with my vote, or sex (in the case of Hillary-dickory-dock, lack thereof).

are there people that would seriously do that... i hope they realize that he is a much better choice over clinton...i would choose him over her if it came down to it... but i am planning on voting for fred thompson... so... i don't think gender or race should be a consideration in the president... i am female, but not stupid enough to vote for the dumb woman who is running lol
