    I've voted for every Democratic candidate since I was old enough to vote. Race is not an option for most. Some make to big of an issue out of it.

    I think it would have been more like Bush/Kerry election. I believe McCain would have won because many people voted based on race and nothing else. Look at Virginia, 92% of african americans voted for him and 8% for McCain.

    yes. Obama did not win because he was black. sure, more black citizens voted than would usually but the population of the US is comprised of primarily caucasian peoples. therefore, Obama would have to get a large White vote to win the popular vote. he won both the popular vote and the electoral vote for his temperament, ideals and promise of change.

    Yes. He also won because people are sick of the Republicans being in power.
