| "For the record, I and my conservative friends have discussed various possible candidates and not one of them cares at all about race or gender - they care about views, experience, record, etc. I suspect this is true for most people both conservative and liberal. Not all, but most."
I would guess that your friends are for the most part educated. I work in a swing state with "Reagan Democrats" and not one of them will say anything good about Obama. At least here, I don't think he has a chance. These voters will vote McCain if it is Obama vs McCain. They just can't stand Obama, and they just don't trust him. There have been too many things going on that were questionable with him. |
