A black dem by the name of Barrack Hussein Obama? Its a huge accomplishment.

I agree though. The dems win with just regular John Smith running. They get style points with Obama.

I really think the fact that he is young and half black played a huge role. I can't think of too many older white career democrats that wouldn't have found someway to screw it up.

It has absolutely everything to do with Bush. To think otherwise is retarded.

Ditto.

They could've put an eggplant in a suit and had tom hanks do the voice and it would've beat McCain.

Mortimer · #14 11-04-2008, 10:06 PM

I really thought McCain ,at least , did stand for an anti Bush image for the republicans.

Eggplant in Italian...you know something Pants..

"In standard Italian the word for eggplant is melanzana, a word also used disparagingly to denote a black person, and in Italian-American slang derived from the southern dialects, the disparagement is often abbreviated to "mulie."

In this country an African American with a name rhyimg with Osama has all but clinched the presidency. It's a huge accomplishment.

Ditto.

DaHoss, aren't you afraid of the African-American community celebrating this victory tonight by rioting in the streets?

I know I'm bringing in my children's bikes, and all my rakes from the back of the house

It won't be safe out there tonight. I think I just heard a Colt .45 malt liquor bottle smash out in the street

I grew up in this town I live in and we didn't have a black kid in my high school graduation class back in 1981.

Now, we have a small segment of blacks, and I have to say....

Well, I won't say it. The young black men in town do a disservice to the reputation of African Americans. I'm not sure there are any local black, successful business people here

Don't make me get back to Obama not really being like most of the so-called African Americans in this country. I'll start sounding like a racist(again?) and figure I should move south of the northeastern U.S.

So called African American refers to them not crossing over from Africa in this generation. Should I call myself a European-American?

I just don't agree with the label
