Someone mentioned on another forum that I go on that they feared more people were willing to vote for McCain than Obama based purely on race. I hope that this is not the case and that people are willing to hold no prejudice against potential candidates.

It concerns me as well .There is still plenty of racism in this country particularly with older white voters.I'll never forget the California gubernatorial election in 1982 when as an idealistic 20 year old I voted for the mayor of Los Angeles .a black man named Tom Bradley who all the exit polls had as winning the election but instead a lame Republican and Reagan wannabe ,George Duekmajian won the election .It is believed to this day that people said one thing and then couldn't bring themselves to vote for the black man once they were in the booth..I would hope we have moved past that kind of racism here but I still have my trepidations.
