"Not only is Barack Obama the most liberal candidate ever nominated by the Democratic Party, he carries the added burden of being a black man in a party with a long and sordid history of racial oppression. While the daily tracking polls reflect a better than even chance of victory for Obama, they fail to take into account the most significant poll of all...a recent poll showing that as many as 30% of white Democrats will not vote for a black candidate.
"These are Democrats who regularly lie to pollsters about voting for Obama because, as good Democrats, they know what they’re expected to say. But what they do in the privacy of the voting booth is an entirely different matter. The racists in the party have not gone away and they have not been reformed. Other white Democrats, those of the far left, will vote for Obama, not because he’s black, but because he promises to transform America into the socialist paradise for which they have always yearned.
"But what is most alarming and disturbing...given what the two major political parties have meant to black liberation and black civil rights over the past 154 years...is the percentage of blacks who will cast their votes for Obama, not on the basis of his background and experience or on his ability to serve as commander in chief, but...just because he’s black."
