No one. No one at all. Think about the wide breadth of the American voter, and then reconsider your phrasing here. No one disputes the contributions of the Black man or woman in America.

Aley Keyes: You shouldn't have the right to vote for me! That says alot more about you than it does about Obama or any of us.

It has EVERYTHING to do with the man's experience, patriotism, ethics, world view, politics, and personal associates. In both cases, they speak for themselves. Pulling the "race card" is as low down as the politics of class envy that the Democrats pull out and parade across the landscape during every election. No one disputes the contributions of the Black man or woman in America. But I ask you - what has Barack Obama contributed to America? If Alan Keyes (also a Black man) was running for President I would vote for him in a HEARTBEAT! But he's not the one running.... Be careful what you wish for...

I'll go with Nixon. That guy was smart. Awful president (and candidate), horrible human being, but very smart. But since then? Bupkus. Can I vote for the smart guy this time (bonus: by all appearances this smart candidate would not be a bad president or person!)? I just wanna make sure it's OK before I pull the lever. Off topic:

Also for white racists who wouldn't mind Barack's help through the economic swamp, but just can't bring themselves to consider a "colored" president: take a leaf from David Allen Grier (though I thought of it first!), remind them Obama's biracial, and tell them to vote for the "white half."
