Of course, maybe you're right, and enough people will vote for McCain just because he's white, even though Obama is much closer to them on the issues.

White Democratic party voters don't like being called racist, as the Obama campaign and its surrogates did in an effort to explain humiliating losses in NH, OH, and PENN.
That's the catch-22 of the Democratic Party. A black candidate can't lose the nomination as long as he mobilizes the base with charges of racism, even better if he uses Malcolm X language ("bamboozle", "hoodwinked", etc.). But it is precisely that appeal to racial division that sends white voters scurrying.
And here's the kicker. John McCain is closer to centrist Democrats on the issues that the people Obama has surrounded himself with: Farakhan, Wright, Ayers, Kerry, Kennedy, Sharpton, Clyburn, etc.
