The article in the Washington Post concluded that the real number is actually higher as many people would be embarrased to say they were prejudice.
That means 77% (if you believe worthless stats like this) said it played no role, sounds pretty good to me. And l always love those "conclusions" based on media interpretation and frankly hope. Face it, if they couldn't jar up a race issue..what else would they have to discuss right now?

Correct. The coverage of this entire election is like a horse race... This one runs well in the mud, this one runs well on warm days, this one has trouble in a crowded field, etc.

The election is over. McCain is the next president. You can all go home now.

Still love how the media manages to narrow the public to two candidates they will allow you to vote for....

I will vote, but not for either of those two twits. Nobody tells me who I can vote for.

That doesn't really matter though, does it. Much like me refusing to buy fuel from Citgo, Venezuela isn't having a problem with that

Don't you get it???? The Washington Post/ABC News WANT race to be a part of it! I can make up any poll I want and get any results I want. Don't be naive. As long as there are race problems, the democrats will be needed to throw money at 'em.

Because facts are boring and don't get the ratings.

No harm, no foul. Just a thought.

No the mere mention of color doesn't invoke thoughts of race. If you said Dark Knight, I would have thought of Batman... if you said Black Knight, I would have thought of that stupid comedy with Martin Lawrence. If you would have said White Shadow, I would have thought of the 1970/80's tv show. White Knight... the Klan. Knight in Shining Armour... some fairy-tale story.
