race matters...

He represents change, inspires good feelings, emulates genuine sincerity, offers practical solutions and easily qualifies for the job, but at the end of the day it seems as though presidential candidate Barack Obama’s race is going to be what matters most to a significant number of white voters.

At least that’s what this recent poll indicates.

And I couldn’t be more disappointed. Not surprised. Just disappointed. I mean, come on, we’ve known this all along. Heck, most of us didn’t even expect him to make it THIS far.

But from the moment he shocked the snot outta everybody and won the Iowa primary, I actually started to consider the notion that maybe, just maybe America is ready.

Still, I can’t get too doom and gloom with this when I consider something else – for the most part, the man’s been leading or tied with McCain in most of the polls. So while this particular poll offers a grim prediction, maybe just maybe the poll is wrong.
We all know it wouldn’t be the first time.

I guess we’ll see soon enough. Just 44 days till election day...
