Have you been following the campaigns, Naruto?
The respective campaigns and the sheepish followers in the media have been generalizing even more. There's all this BS generalization about how electing certain candidates would instantly and almost magically bring about change. It's ridiculous.

But that is a grossly unfair statement and huge generalization yourself, albeit a lot of people are using in. In this campaign anyone who talks about race is quickly and perhaps unreasonably questioned. That's not really healthy and it doesn't mean Americans' views about race has changed.
A lot of experienced political pundits have written about where they think Obama (with his record and experience) would be with if he was not the first viable black candidate. It's a legitimate consideration. If the Democrats want to win, they had better stop treating it like a racial potshot.

I have to take that with a grain of salt. I have always said that a lot of Republicans want Hillary nominated. That may mean holding back from criticizing her now or saying other things to help.
I have a had time believing that even the hardest core of Republicans would rather want a Clinton than McCain. McCain has an 82 conservative rating. To the Republicans, Clinton is Clinton.
