11. It's media hype, pure and simple

The only thing that the public, at large, knows about Obama is that he gave a powerful speech at the dem convention. All the rest that they know of him is media hype.

No matter what the polls say, this country is not ready to elect a black man or a woman as president. Come on, if you were on the phone giving info for a poll would you admit you are a racist? The RW has tried to push us back to the 50's, and they've done a very good job on a very large portion of the population. We need to bring these people forward, before we could ever hope for a black or woman president, or better still a black woman president.
