Racial Views Steer Some Away From Obama
Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks many calling them "lazy," "violent" or responsible for their own troubles.
The poll suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 about 2.5 percentage points.

..."I think that people have reached a point in America where they are going to vote for the person who can do the job and not the color of the person..."
I agree with you. Who in their right minds would want more of the same if they find themselves suffering? This economy is going to get worse before it gets better and that's no joke so forget about color and vote for someone who can and will get the job done for you. That's my two cents worth.
