Does this make a difference.... with who you're going to choose to be the next president?

I know exactly what you're saying. People refuse to acknowledge that they're both human and both have good points and bad points... and in my opinion, McCain has far more bad points. The two things he has going for him are that he has more experience, and he is white. I cannot believe that there are so many people out there who stubbornly deny that tons of Americans are still so racist that the main reason they wouldn't vote for Obama is that he's half black. It's blatantly obvious. It's a fact. It's not some excuse or exaggeration. People will actually give me loads of thumbs down for mentioning it -- those very people are the ones who are totally deluding themselves. The sheer number of them is horrifying.
