so i don't make anything of it, ace.
except that i think it's projection.
the other, more objectionable thing in this apparent non-sequitor is that you seem to assume in it that there's some merit to the palin-meme "palling around with terrorists" which i think is worthless. beneath contempt. seriously.

There was a poll conducted by AP. They did the poll because Obama should be winning by a large margin. Hence if he does not win it is due to racism, not issues.

Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

The pollsters set out to determine why Obama is locked in a close race with McCain even as the political landscape seems to favor Democrats. President Bush's unpopularity, the Iraq war and a national sense of economic hard times cut against GOP candidates, as does that fact that Democratic voters outnumber Republicans.

The same theory has been floated by some of the talking heads in the media.
{added} On the issue of projection, not that I think my race is relevant, but if you knew my race you would most likely change your view on "projection".
