Chip another notch in the "media insisting on making race an issue in everything".

[statdoc]

Let's ignore the racism implicit in the line "On the other side of the racial question, the Illinois Democrat is drawing almost unanimous support from blacks, the poll shows,"

It's sad on many fronts, when people say:

"I won't vote for him because he's black"

and

"I'm voting for him because he's black"

and

"I'm voting for her because she's a woman"

and

"I'm not voting for her because she's a woman"

Not voting for someone because their black is exactly the same as ONLY voting for someone because their black, it goes both ways and I'm sick (along with I'm sure many other people) hearing the race card pulled across the race

The Bradley Effect will be a significant factor in this election, IMO. I know of many Democrats who would have voted for Hillary, but not Obama based on race and/or gender and nothing to do with policy differences. Very sad indeed.

It appears that there is implicit racism in your response there. Maybe it is just the limitations of an online forum, and not being able to express ourselves completely. After several posts about how racism shouldn't be a part of the election, why would you suggest to Quick that it goes both ways? Are you suggesting that he wants the benefit of support in one direction and not the other? If so, that is grounded in a questionable belief, and it seems an unfair and unfortunate characterization to me.
