'Race was a factor in my decision' could mean 'Obama playing the race card turned me off.' Or 'Jeremiah Wright turned me off.' Or 'Obama claiming to be post-racial, then flip-flopping and giving a big race speech to say everything is about race turned me off.' The poll question was framed as 'race', not 'Obama's race.' “one in six white voters told exit pollsters race was a factor in his or her decision.”

I feel that 18 million voters lost their vote. What was the sense of voting, when Obama was nominated by acclamation. There was no roll call vote, the roll call vote has always been the Democratic process. Is anybody else incensed? Was the Obama camp so afraid to have a roll call vote that they intimidated the delegates. This is like a third world country. We have no more voters freedom.

Who is going to expose this fake Saint Obama when all these pictures are worth 1000's of his mere words? Obama is now hoisting himself on his own petard. Thank goodness. Hubris is the revenge of the gods for trying to fly too close to the sun. I actually got an Obama mailer today (my name was hijacked off a Clinton donation list against my will) that told me I was the one I was waiting for. Imagine that, me !?!. Imagine this, Obama, raise your own g.d. money from someone who cares.

Just as long as he loses, goes back to Chicago, and mopes about it. The fact is every time I almost convince myself to vote for Obama simply because he is going to be the Democratic nominee, and that's how I usually vote, every single time, either he or his supporters do or say another thing that is just infuriating. The entire Obama Team just seem to be experts at pissing people off. And I am talking about the people who are pre-disposed to WANT to vote for the Dem.

They were buying elections, we said. Now, Obama claims that having billionaires, foreigners and bankers up the creek needing bailouts shoveling money his way is democracy. Under the bus goes publicly funded elections that would restore some control of the citizens to the process. Another democratic principle flip flop.

The latte sipping PH d crowd are, too a large extent, the people backing O Baby. They are the ones with their postmodern theories that "history is all lies" and all you have to do is "deconstruct" everything. Most don't believe there really is anything such as reality except in their own minds. So please, you've just described the O Baby crowd. And I agree, as I said, they can't accept reality.

I read it a few days ago and had the same initial thoughts as you did. How can Obama lose due to racism when only five percent of those polled said they didn't vote for Obama because he was black? Duh! Obama will lose because of Obama. Thanks Bud, for a great analysis of Jacob Weisberg’s article. I read it a few days ago and had the same initial thoughts as you did.
