If Obama loses, what will America do? Will America be accused of Racism? Barack Obama is the first black presidential nominee ever of a major party. At the start of the 2008 primaries, Bill Clinton was accused of being a racist. But after Barack Obama was elected, Bill & Barack became close, funny how that works huh? This will be a moral test for America if Barack Obama is elected as the next president of the United States.
The third world and Europe are awaiting the announcement that America has gotten past its bigotry and moves forward as a country. Barack is up 5 and one half points in the polls as of 10/20/08. But what if he loses? What will happen to America? If Obama loses, America could be in trouble & if Obama wins, America could be in trouble suggest Patrick Buchanan.

Does Race Really Matter ? MICHAEL COHEN, October 5, 2008, 9:14 pm
Yes, Race really does matter. Race decisively favors Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election. Andrew Kohut, President of Pew Research Center in Washington, DC writes that “56 percent of Democrats believe that many people will not vote for Barack Obama because he is an African American.” Barack Obama is the first African American presidential candidate. There are two notions in the upcoming election, One that is there are many white voters that are “closet racist” and will not vote for Obama because of him being non white & two that public opinion polling cannot be trusted because of some white voters afraid to reveal there prejudice. Some respondents believe that being an African American would help him as opposed to hurt him in this election.

Race & The Race GARY L. BAUER, 10/13/08 1:35 PM EDT
Does race really play a role in the 2008 presidential election? Yes, it does. The article race and the race is mainly about how America is getting past the first African American (Barack Obama) becoming the presidential candidate for the Democrats in the 2008. Many reporters believe that racism/non racism may determine the outcome of this election. James Carville quotes “If Obama loses a close race, it is inevitable that [racism] will be a very big part of the interpretation of the race. The AP – Yahoo! Poll, it estimates that Obama could lose up to six percentage points on November 4th, which is the day of the election. It is also said that Obama is compiled the most liberal voting record in the Senate last year. The Democrats have lost 5 of the last 7 elections in America just because they nominated liberal presidential candidates. Although race really shouldn’t matter, what should is there Ideological perspectives. Ideology has determined a lot of the things. Things such as why many African Americans often vote more for a Democrat rather than a Republican or why Feminist attacked Sarah Palin or even John Kerry for being catholic in which he lost the 2004 vote from the Catholics. In 2006, Barack Obama was campaigning for Maryland Senator Ben Cardin against Michael Steele. He spoke to an African American audience – “You don’t vote for someone because of what they look like, you should vote for them because of what their ideas are and what they stand for”.
