Why McCain Won

We all know that there is a certain bias in the media. Regardless of the way the media portrays these candidates, I just can't believe that anyone who watched the debates can still believe that McCain is best for this job. There was no media filter there. We got to see just how they both behave under pressure. McCain looked like an old, angry, negative, closed minded, reactionary. Mr. straight talk couldn't even look the other man in the eyes. While Obama showed himself to be calm, rational, open minded, intelligent, and positive. Like it or not, these are the 2 candidates we have been given. (I still think we can do better in this great country) But this is our choice. As for me, I'm going with calm, rational, open minded, intelligent & positive.

It seems people seems to forget that blacks have ALWAYS voted majority democrat in 90% favor, but of course some whites will always try to point the finger back at blacks when they refuse to admit themselves that they are racist. It's absolutely ridiculous. We have seen with our own eyes the racism that exist within the republican party. Does Obama being an Arab ring a bell? Of course not, so I have to say that a majority of these folks who claim they would vote for a black person is lying through their teeth.

The Truth? Original? Wake up America. Obama's close loss of this election on November 4th will be THE racial issue of our time. The OJ trial and Rodney King will pale in comparison. Because white America cannot win on this one even if they are voting against a man because of his principals and not his race. Obama is a pure liberal and many (but not most) Americans realize it but are afraid to speak about it for fear of being acused. Until the curtain closes. I am not afraid to speak about it and severe division of this nation is coming is coming the morning of November 5th. Too bad, but it's coming....

I'll say it again: This is the same nation that RE-elected an unpopular George W. Bush during an unpopular war less that 4 years ago. Obama is seen by many as a pure liberal, while Kerry really was not.

Translation: McCain will win this election. And the racial issue of our time will be upon us when anyone white is accused of racism as McCain takes the Presidency.

You Dems always bring Race into the race as this article starts off with..Then go onto the blame game and calling anyone not voting for Obama stupid and Racist...Talk about a biased editorial...Higher taxes will not get this country on track and neither will more welfare programs..Why not make it a law to have 3 yrs to get off of welfare? Input some incentives as going to a trade school paid for by us and learn how to work..I for one am tired of supporting generation after generation of welfare addicted people..

Are you joking? The assertion here is that if someone is against Obama, he's racist and uninformed. If the media did half of its job, we would know that Obama is far from a flawless candidate - that if, in fact, McCain had half of Obama's shortcomings (and associations), he would not even be in the Senate. The field is so tilted towards the Democrats with the media and educational institutions shilling for them, voter fraud piling up votes in contested states, undocumented campaign finance dollars filling the vaults, and a populist message that says "I'll take the money from the evil rich folks and buy your vote with it," it's amazing there's even a race. But just to be sure, Newsweek is going to try to guilt people into voting for Obama by suggesting that they are harboring latent racism if they don't. It would be pathetic if it weren't so serious. I have never in my life seen a person with as much of a messiah complex as Obama - talk about audacity, what kind of person writes not one, but two, autobiographies before the age of 45 when they haven't even accomplished anything? But dare point this out or speak out against his policies, and you are a racist.

In the sixties the Democratic party inititiated civil rights reforms and made it clear that there was no room in the party for bigots. The Republicans of that time saw an opportunity and pandered to this element. Since those days African-Americans have ALWAYS voted over 90% for the Democratic candidates, all of who were white. Put up Alan Keyes and see what a sorry percentage of the vote he gets.
Political history is interesting, isn't it?

I am a conservative, and was a Democrat years ago until I learned about the members of the "Good Ol
Boys Club" ie Kennedy, Biden, Byrd, Kerry, Gore, Pelozi, oops, did I say Boys? I changed to Republican and
have never regretted it. I believe in gray hair, experience, and maturity which the youngster running against
Mr. McCain has none. For all the Liberals out there claiming to be Christian, how can you vote for abortion?

As you can see from the response by 'rapidron', I would say sense and decency isn't as common as one would think in America. It's always amusing to hear and read about the group of people that would vote against a candidate based on race and yet speak of God (Jehovah) in the same breath. The problem is the 'god' they are speaking of is the one that is usually portrayed as having horns, a pointy tail and pitchfork.

Could this article have been more demeaning towards Americans? Are you insinuating that everyone in America is racist? It feels to me that the author of this ridiculous article is trying to guilt people into voting for Obama out of fear of being deemed a "racist" if they vote otherwise.

ounce in a great while i take the deep regretted dive into a newsweek article! I hold my breath and stop halfway through sick to my stomach. seriously, your organization needs to find a new line of work because you fail as journalists!!!

This is not the first black political candidate to run for president, but he is the first to change history by making it this far in the race. I bet 95% of the black community has supported more white political candidates in their life time than the white community has supported any black political candidate; I don't think racism is a good argument why blacks vote for Obama. I don't deny that there are some blacks voting for Obama because he is black, but the same can be said for McCain; just remember blacks are the minority of this country, but it seems that Obama is winning in the polls so I guess there are fews whites voting for Obama as well: Are these whites racist against other white people?/again-racism is not a good argument . The fact of the matter is if Obama was a white person we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Mr Bill, who are you to call Republicans stupid? By having more than1 Party just means ther are difference of opinions, and I guess we will see who wins on Nov 4th . I think it does not matter what the color of the candidates skin is, the only thing that matters is what's best for our country and I believe that although Obama may be a good man, he is not the solution for our country's problem. Higher taxes for small business' is definitely not the way to fix our economy. The majority of small business' definitely make more than 250,000.00 a year, so taxing anyone that makes more than 250K would cause those business' to lay off employees and cause more unemployment. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out!!!! Also, his medical plan is socialistic, I come from Germany and believe me you don't want that kind of medical plan, I lived it and I say NO THANK YOU, unless you like going to the dr at 7AM and sit there until 3PM hoping to get called in to see the doctor, and then there is a big problem with the selection of medication that you can receive, if it is not on the approved list well then you can pay for it yourself, so there you have it it wil not fix our problems here it will just add. Then of course for all the people that do not work and pay no med ins we the taxpayers are going to have to pick up the cost. I say again no thank you.....
