Democrats have cynically played the race card every two years, and Barack Obama seems to be the poster child for it this year. Best of the Web notes:
''Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois today urged hundreds of blacks not to vote along racial lines next week in Maryland's Senate race. Obama, the only black U.S. senator, came to the state to rally support for Democratic Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, who is white. Cardin's Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, is the first black candidate ever elected statewide and has been courting black Democrats.''--Associated Press, Nov. 3
''The nation's only black senator, Barack Obama, D-Ill., asked voters at two black churches and at a Nashville rally to elect [Harold] Ford, a Democrat who is trying to become the first black senator from the South in more than 100 years. 'I know that all of you are going to work the next couple of days to make sure it happens, because I'm feeling lonely in Washington,' Obama said at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. 'I need my dear friend to join me.' ''--Associated Press, Nov. 5
This guy is an outright racist if this is really what he believes. If it's not, then he's just another duplicitous political hack. Either way, the media-fueled halo that surrounds him is certain to dim as people realize he brings nothing new or valuable to America's political discourse. Pathetic.
