A more racially divided nation?

One of the coming debates is whether or not we will see a more, not less, divided nation when this is all over. If Obama loses this will certainly be heard above the din, especially from the lunatic fringe. It is clear when you have 90% of one race supporting one of its own (albeit 1/2 black, 1/2 white) and blue collar whites lining up 2 to 1 for Hillary, or so, after South Carolina when the race thing seemed to start up.

A loss by Obama will be seen by many around the world that the US is still prejudiced. Truly, there is still racism in this nation. It has been curtailed considerably over the last 40 years to the point that a black politician has a legitimate shot at the presidency. There are going to be those that will not vote for him because he is black and there will be many that will do the opposite. Whether one cancels out the other will be, to some degree, seen in exit polls.

More than likely the decision on who our next president will be is going to be decided by the economy, international events, mistakes by the candidates (or any skeletons unearthed) along with motivated voters. It is a mixed bag at the moment.

Note: The ones who have the most to lose in this election are the race baiters. Those who have made a living at exposing any and all prejudices to their race. If Obama wins and is truly able to bridge that gap, he immediately becomes the the most prominent leader of the black movement. This will not go over well in some camps. This may be a reason that Rev. Wright stated that he would be meeting with Obama to go over some things if he wins the presidency. He has an agenda that he wants Obama to follow. This election has been like no other and there will be an interesting election aftermath.
