Clinton Dems Jumping Ship?

Why is it that when people don’t support, or, as in my case, cannot stand Barak Obama, it is turned into a matter of race? When you write “It’s most likely angry older moderate Democrats genuinely turned off by Obama; possibly some voters who simply won’t consider voting for a black man” you assume that there are not a myriad of other reasons why clear-thinking, independent-minded Democrats of all ages and races might truly detest this man who has come from nowhere with NO experience, about whom we know little and the little we’ve learned is disturbing to say the least. I am a young, liberal Democrat, not from rural Pennsylvania (as though that’s something to be ashamed of) but rather from a major metropolitan area, educated, in a nice financial bracket and I find the notion of this unqualified, arrogant man potentially attaining the highest office in the land downright frightening. Rather than try to paint all of us who vehemently oppose an Obama presidency as racists, perhaps you should look at the 95% of African Americans who support him and begin to look into THEIR blind racism which leads them to support a candidate simply because he is black! The media has given Obama and his wife a complete pass on any sort of scrutiny about their past, past associations, positions, etc.(the Trinity Church videos were not first exposed by the mainstream media – rather they were picked up by them only after they received extensive attention on the Internet). Obama speaks well – no question about that. He talk a good game and little more. The Emperor has no clothes and many of us life-long Democrats are way too intelligent to blindly follow a candidate of no experience and little substance merely because he has good oral skills and might, perhaps, ‘make history.’ John McCain is a bonafide American hero, a man of tremndous integrity and a great deal of experience. Whule I disagree with him on many issues, I trust him to do what is right for this country. I cannot say the same for Mr. Obama nor can I understand those who can. I am, my friend, a proud McCain Democrat. I think you will soon find I am far from alone!
