If young white voters are "less racist" does that mean Obama was elected because he is less black? Why is half black/half white considered the "first black president"? I am half Swedish if elected would I be the "first Swedish president"? ----------- Ok, with that nonsense out of the way, let's look at real life. Real world results and consequences are not graded on the curve. This is what I see as grading on the curve: Obama the orator : Following the guy who still says," 'merica" and "nuke-yu-ler" and whose principle segue is "aaaa"? Is it a mandate when following …

Obama got my vote once, but not this time. He's obviously bright and very polically savvy, as your article points out. It's not just what he says and does, but what he does not.

McCain's pasted-on smile and attempt to hide …

"Vacation time shouldn’t be the privilege of a few, but the right of all." Funny thing... In my copy the fundamental rights list ends with,"...the pursuit of happiness." Not everything people want should be considered a right. This is just plain stupid and why our country is falling behind. We are nearly becoming another Europe where "rights" to a cushy life (short work week, early retirement, etc.) have had them in double digit unemployment and high inflation prices for decades. I was self-employed beginning at age 19 and, with the exception of three years working for a corporation and my military …

Racial generalizations are unneeded and degrading — including in the title of this article. If I were from Ohio I would be pissed off. I'm not, but I still am!
