The media including Salon needs to write about something so they write about how people will not vote for a Black man-- they are guessing -- and they are giving people ideas who have only a few ideas in the first place because the media whips up anger and people just want little to do with getting informed and simply shy away from learning anything--- that suits those Republicans just fine-- they want to deal with an ignorant public as much as possible.
Back in February 2008, Iowa voted solidly for Obama but then Hillary talked about are you you ready to make history voting for a Black man or a female? This is not the issue in this election.
