Obama stumbles into a party and asks, "Where the white women at?"
Sarah looks just like me, y'all! And I should be president!
For reasons that this white woman cannot comprehend, John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin has resulted in a 53% to 37% lead for the GOP team among white female voters. Even more appalling, Newsweek reports that one in three white women is more likely to vote for McCain because he chose Palin as a running mate.
A scholar for the Center for American Women and Politics explains, "It's about how much Democrats can maximize the gender difference and how much the Republicans can hold it down."
Thank the good Lord that the new, aggressive Obama/Biden campaign released a new series of campaign posters to remind American women why they should vote Democrat:

I like or love 98% of the stuff at 23/6, and I know that all edgy commedy will occasionally step over the line.
I think that one steps over the line into the cruel and stupid.
The rest of it is pretty good.

To be honest, I'm not combative. If "noseriouslythough" had gutted my comment or I had the slightest idea what the "brand new day" or "banjo" comment refer to, I might get angry.
He just called an anecdote and some comments "dumb." I'm not sure if he belongs to the category of people who deny the existence of racism or he thinks it is so obvious that it is beyond mention. I think, despite good intentions, most people are racist. Issues might be surveyed about and people may use them as excuses, but gut feelings/instincts are far more important. But again, I'm not sure what he thinks is so dumb. Maybe he thinks people crashed over the damn to McCain after Palin joined just because she is a charismatic and exceptional woman. Or, maybe he just means I'm a babe in the big bad woods of kill or be killed flamethrower political commentary.
I don't go on these boards much... well, mostly because politics burns me out and like most upper white trash, I work and I sleep and don't have time for it. Later. It is good to know someone actually read my comment without prejudice. :)
"White Man for Obama? Is that allowed?"

Obama needs to campaign with Hillary and other strong white women. He can't mention the racism. That would be dumb, I think. The subliminal support, the images of women singing his praises and condemning McCain may tinker with people's unexamined uncertainty about his experience and his race.
You're now a Fan of noseriouslythough.
That is the dumbest comment ever posted on the Interwebs, and that's no small feat. Congratulations. Resume banjo playing now.
