no mirroring.

Really? It took me one google search to find this.
It's OK to vote for Obama because he's black - Barack Obama News - Salon.com
Quote:
I admit it: I'm voting for Barack Obama because he's black. Yes, I'm voting for him because he's qualified, intelligent, charismatic and competent -- and because unlike Hillary Clinton, he opposed the Iraq war from the beginning. But if he weren't black, and Hillary had opposed the war, I'd probably vote for her because of her greater experience. In any case, it's a moot point, because if Obama weren't black, he would not be the Democratic front-runner.
I believe that most of Obama's supporters are voting for him for the same reason. Like me, they're drawn to his idealism, his youthful energy, his progressive politics. But it's his blackness that seals the deal.
And that's OK. In fact, it's wonderful.

Salon.com is hardly a conservative news source.
I'm sure if I had the time to search further right now I could find lots more liberal sources taking the same position.
Saying people shouldn't be in Congress because he is Muslim is stupid. So is saying someone should be president because he is black is equally stupid.
Your bias is showing.
