Sure....but it wasn't the factor that caused people to vote for him. I doubt highly that even 1/100th of 1% voted for him because he was black. To say so is just silly.
LOL.... that's STILL one person, and a fairly influential person at that, which trashes your original argument about my comment not being based in reality. Samuel L's comments were very significant in that he was voicing what most libs were already thinking. You'd have to be a complete Harry Reid airhead to not see that. Are you a Harry Reid airhead, disneydude?LOL.....ok.....1 person out of how many million?
I think you are underestimating the role it played, especially when it came to bringing out hitherto untapped voters. Just as a thought experiment: Do you think a white candidate with a white name and Obama's background would have whipped up the same level of excitement and voter turnout especially in crucial minority strongholds and college aged voters? I personally have a hard time believing that, especially when matched against Hillary Clinton. Being black allowed his campaign to underscore a tremendous narrative that would not have resonated nearly as much had he been white.

Duane Swierczynski trying to run for office.
I think he got elected for a a few of reasons:
1)because his name wasn't Bush or Clinton.
2) He was relatively unknown by most people.
3) Bush had pretty much made people tired of Republicans at the time.
4) The birther movement.
5) The best the GOP could come up with was McCain and Palin.
I guess I could keep responding to your vacuous comments, but I'm not going to do that anymore. You and I both know who is wrong, and it's not me. That's all that really matters.Sorry...but one person does not support your asinine comment. You are grasping at straws and doing acrobats to try to extrapolate a point that you cannot prove....because it is a silly thesis that does not exist outside of your right-wing propoganda. Sorry...but once again and epic failure on your part.

What think you. I think he is going to make a run for it now that Benghazi will haunt Hillary and Biden. He disapproved of Obama's budget plans, he and his wife are both physicians I believe so he will have real world insight into the fiasco that is to come, and he was very good at organizing grassroot support.
Oh, I agree. I'm certain every single member of the KKK who did vote, voted for McCain or Romney. But again, they're no better than the millions of racists who voted for Obama because he's black. Say, do you happen to have any video clips of prominent conservatives stating that they voted for McCain or Romney because they are white?And some people voted for McCain/Romney because he was white. Yeah, sure there are plenty of folks who voted Obama purely on the color of his skin.
McCain lost because he was a Republican coming out of the Bush years. ANY Republican would have had a seriously hard time purely because of the R after their name. After the Bush Debacle Years, the Democrats could have run Dick Gephardt and stand a good chance at winning. You are placing way too much emphasis on Obama's skin color rather than the horrid chances at a Republican for the Office Of the Presidency had in 2007-2008.
Romney lost the election for a large numbers of reasons.
I have no idea who that is, but he has my vote. About time we had someone with an unpronounceable Polish name in the White House.

McCain lost because he was conflicted. He also lost because the Left pegged him as a carryover from George Bush, and he failed to convince otherwise.
Romney lost for many of the same reasons.

Republicans will always lose until they call out the Democrats.
Who told you that anyone doesn't? Are you omniscient too?If you think anyone votes on what Samuel Jackson said, you are deluded.
I never said they did, but thanks for filling in for Disneydude. You're doing a great job in his absence.And none of those reasons have to do with Obama being half black.

Skin tone was the chief, if not only, reason Barack Obama was voted into office..
How many people do you know personally that voted for Obama?Sorry, but the subject of racism started with you, just now (which is no surprise). And wrong, again. Most people who voted for Obama voted for him because it was of "historical significance" meaning, a black man had to be in office if America were ever going to be able to demonstrate that it practices what the Left preaches. Never mind that he wasn't qualified for the job.
The wrong is all on you.
That is the main reason he won. As for McCain and Romney, I was referring to what they did to defeat themselves.Except that you said Obama won because he was black.
Oops.
Forget that eh?
FYI, Go read the new TOS. You are cruising for violations.
Too bad you can't go edit your posts.

And why are you trying to fill in blanks where there aren't any?
Republicans will lose until they:
(1) actually achieve a conservative goal (limit the size of government, significantly reduce divorce rates, etc)
(2) convince the center that conservative goals are still worth reaching for
Both are equally unlikely and have little to do with the behavior of the Democratic Party.
