Throughout the school year so far we have had many projects, readings, and discussions; and one discussion we have is after each Presidential and Vice President debate. I am always most entertained and really enjoy discussions on this years elections. Overall i have had many blogs about Obama, McCain, and Palin and thats because it's something i really enjoy. I haven't always had such an interest in politics but this years election has really opened my eyes to the bigger picture and the economy.
In this article it talks about how a man named Gene Caldwell an Obama supporter, is worried that Obama's color will have a huge effect on this years election. He talks about how if only African Americans were to vote for Obama there is a sure chance of McCain becoming President. Since Americas population is more White than African American, he is afraid McCain will take the lead in this years election. In a small part of this article it mentions how the only way for Obama to win is to get millions of votes from whites in general. I think that this is very possible because as an Obama supporter myself, i feel that the Americans are truly listening to his policies and not just looking at the color of his skin. I could however be wrong but hopefully in the end thats not the case or i would feel almost like a disgrace to America is we judged by color.
