[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 424685, member: 13254"] Electorally it was a landslide, popular vote...no landslide. IMO, the Electoral College has outlived it's purpose, but this [I]aint nuttin[/I] new. I've thought that for many years. I know this is going to sound racist on my part, but it is more of a statement [U]of[/U] racism. Let me qualify that I am not bothered one little bit by the fact that Obama is a black man (technically half black-half white), I was not bothered by the fact that Jackie Robinson was black or Clarence Thomas, or Colin Powell. However I do believe that one important aspect of Obama's win goes to the fact at many more black people voted this election than ever before in history because they were voting for a black man to become President. I hold that as deplorable as the people that would not vote for Obama for the same reason. However the largest % of the white people that did that were more than likely to vote Repub anyway. Racism is still alive and still as sick today as it was the day Abe Lincoln was murdered. And it goes both ways. [/QUOTE]
