I don't see this as "all about race"...

If Mike Tyson was the black candidate and Charles Manson the white candidate I don't think we'd see the voting going the way it is going...

I think, however, it is fair to say that race does play a ***part*** into folks decision making...

I will admit that I give ***extra credit*** to Obama for being black but my decision to support him is based more on my dislike of the Clintons and more for the freshness that Obama brings...

It is neither helpfill nor correct for people to accept the misconception that this election is "all about race"... Those are the thoughts of folks who are steeped in racism and not thoughts of the general public... Yes, the right wing would love for this misconceptiion to gain traction becuase then they could make the election about race... It isn't and I, for one, will call out anyone who promotes this right wing misconception...
