If so, how will these high numbers of race effect the economy and government in the future?

In the previous presidential elections America has never faced an African American or women canidate. 

To this day in 2008 we currently have Borack Obama our African American Presidant, and John McCain Our white president.

Not only does America have different races running, but we have a women for vice president, Sarah Palin.

America goes through the different debates, and each year the average American goes through deciding

who they want as our future president. 

But what they don't know which i find to be interesting is the population of of whites vs. african americans.

This is a huge relation to the elections considering its the first year having an african american president.

It is estimated to be 221,331,507 whites in the U.S. while the estimation of african americans is to be 37,051,483

this could mean anything. There is a good chance John McCain would win if people were to cote by race,

which people today still do. And then theres those who vote on their policies. So either way it's a win win situation.

The question is though what percent of America votes depended on skin color?
