The thing about Obama is that he's never been elected on his own merits and because his opponent wasn't on the ballot. The first race he ran, he won because he got his opponent thrown off the ballot, the second time was because his opponent dropped out and was replaced by Alan "The Joke" Keyes, this time he's running against Bush, who is also not on the ballot.
Also, the "that one" remark isn't racist. It's kinda pathetic that people are calling it that. Clearly he meant candidate if you look at the previous sentence. But, if you want to pull out the over-used race card, keep doing it, it just makes Obama look like a whiner.
