Everybody knows someone who is prejudiced in reguards to race or gender. The fact I hear some of these known bigots (we're not talking white supremists-more like 'good' old boys) saying they are planning to vote for Obama is surprising. Until you hear some say they don't want another Republican, but don't want a woman either!
Can we all say Politics makes strange bed fellows?
Then again we have that motivation factor. Who is predicted to actually go vote? I think that's also in his favor and against McCain and Hillary.
Many think that Obama is the lesser evil-- to sad those bigots have ways of casting their votes. The issue of black man-female candidates are overrated.
