I think you're missing the point of the dialog. It's not about which group is more racist than the other group (or for that matter which group is more sexist, as in the "hockey moms" who have suddenly cast their lot with the Red ticket because a woman is on the tickey). The point is that they need to be focusing on which candidate will do a better job of protecting our country, creating jobs, improving the health of our citizens, caring for our veterens and our aged...in other words working for all of us regular citizens instead of for a cabal of corporate donors and war profiteers.
When the people in this article speak to us about their voting decision-making process they deserve our "straight talk" back: casting a vote based on who you think is prettiest or nicest is what you do for high school homecoming. Doing that as an adult is hurting us all. As nice and good as I know (most of) these people likely are, they need the tough love from their brothers explaining the negative impact their votes are having on this country and our fighting sons and daughters.
