If it is in the bag, what difference does it make? Why would you waste your time?

I am merely repeating what your VP elect has said. That should be a plus for you.

And why are you injecting race into it? Are you a racist?

Here is something your VP elect said:

"I think he [Obama] can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training". "I think that I stand by the statement."
