If Barack Obama loses in the coming election meaning white Americans are predominantly racists. That’s what Jacob Weisberg of Slate brilliantly concluded:
…the reason Obama isn’t ahead right now is that he trails badly among one group, older white voters. He does so for a simple reason: the color of his skin. … Much evidence points to racial prejudice as a factor that could be large enough to cost Obama the election. That warning is written all over last month’s CBS/New York Times poll, which is worth examining in detail if you want a quick grasp of white America’s curious sense of racial grievance.
In the meanwhile, Joseph Biden Delaware Senator has been chosen as Obama’s vice presidential running mate. Juan Cole, a middle-east political analyst and among a few American political pundit who has a very independent mind, couldn’t agree more with Obama on Biden’s candidacy.
