well, maybe im just not talking to the same people that you are , but on the other side of the coin you presented, i tend to know alot of people who want to vote for him just BECAUSE he is africanamerican. Thats how they are interpreting "vote for change" i think it is terrible to not vote for someone based on race (or gender, sexual orientation, or religeous affiliations) but i also hate if that IS the reason why someone gets the vote also.
