    senorplain you are in denial

    had he been white 90% AA wouldn't have been behind him, why should they? Hillary is a fighter for AA community, they would have flocked on her side as they did in the beginning before O made a claim that he was really one of them ("look at my church and pastor and wife!!").

    And white don't have the kind of guilt toward Asian the way they do toward AA, hence it's not so romantic to gather behind an Asian candidate. MSM media wouldn't have been so enamored to blindly put him on pedestal either. It's fact that O is popular among AA, white eggheads and youths.

    Had he been white, he wouldn't have been the last 2 candidates left!! John Edwards is a more credible and convincing candidate than him.

    Now, before resorting to more ad hominem typical of Obamabots, ask yourself this question: would you have been so enamored with him had he been a half Japanese, half white with an association to a Japanese fascist group that believes in Iapanese supremacy and a glorification to Japan's war crimes in WWII?

    Please be honest.
