Cyn, the race card for Obama was pulled a long time ago. This is nothing new. Especially so close to election time it does not surprise me one but this would happen. It shouldn't be an issue because we have already had a black president. Plenty of whites voted for him then so plenty should vote for Obama now. Then again, voting based on race is pretty dumb anyways.
Personally, I think the race card is stupid. He's white, he's black. That's it. It should be neutralized. He will get some of the black vote and he will get some of the white vote. If Obama wins, he will be the second black president and the first Asian American one. Personally I think he's more white than black. It's only recently that more black folk have been embracing him. Before, he had a difficult time reaching out to blacks. But now with Oprah's endorsement, and many celebrities and athletes endorsing Obama, more and more have begun to support him. Obama has done well with the young, hip, popularity contest angle. Obama is prety much the "in" thing, the new "it" guy. I just hope he gets back to the issues soon.
