Many voted for Obama in the past 6 month who did not see colour as a critical issue. Policies matter much more - i fact many women were hoping to see a woman at the top of the ticket and in the White House; even some Republican women liked to see a woman make it in their lifetimes. Race will affect a very small portion of the popular vote, some blacks may lean to Obama (though they generally vote Democratic, they may vote in greater numbers than before). A few less voting for Obama due to a racial bias are probably Rednecks who will vote for a third party looney in any event - even if Hillary was in the race. Obama and Mccain have a much wider view of what to do than Bush/Kerry and Bush/Gore so the race will be more tipped per state on way or another. Less 50/50 than the past two elections. Obama is very intelligent but inexperienced, while McCain is quite old but has been aroiund. Neither has run much (Senators talk, Govenors & Mayors run things with real budgets) of anything so everything is up for grabs. Their VP picks (Obama/Edwards?) may tell even more. (McCain/Lieberman? - who ran with Gore!). Not a dull RACE at all. That's the race issue, not the colour issue.

Anyone who has been awake during the last eight years while G.W. Bush has alienated most of the world and most thinking Americans; done nothing to alleviate the suffering of our own homeless and medically impoverished; "created" a war based on lies for personal reasons, thus murdering our own troops and countless Iraqi citizens; has accumulated unimagineable national debt; exchanged nuclear technology for mangoes; allowed "free" trade to eradicate the American middle class; voted against positive ecological changes; and single-handedly attempted to turn the U.S. into a third world country and yet still decides to vote for John McCain, whose politics are "more of the same; simply because he is not black nor a woman, needs seriously to see a mental health professional IF he or she is lucky enough to have medical insurance. When will people stop thinking in terms of color and/or gender? Perhaps after there are only a handful of survivors struggling to stay alive in whatever is left of Earth following a nuclear or biological event inspired by hatred and greed? I cry for our children and grandchildren. I apologize to them. I pray for and pity them. If this be civilization, we should not have been allowed to evolve.

Barack Obama is a breath of fresh air for America. I like Hilary - I hope he picks her as VP.

America needs Obama after the disaster of the warmonger Bush. He is a man for all people and he WILL succeed and I AM WHITE.

One would think that 24 years of Clinton's and Bush's in the White House as either a Vice president or President would be more than enough. Time to branch out to another family and I don't mean McCain.

There is absolutely no way I would vote for Barrack. If it comes down to it, Id vote Republican.
