The wages of whiteness remain great:

Does the outcome of this election really tell anybody anything useful about what time it is?

What time it is indeed. And its really sad. That is the way things are and the way they have been since the inception of the nation. The thing is, what the election of Barack showed was a willingness on the part of the white electorate to transcend that reprehensible legacy. The liberals, for all the bashing they receive around here, the white liberals were the swing vote that put Barama in office. The whites that CD is railing against -the Republicans - the T party- they didn't vote for him in the first place and they never will. What happen is not that whites as a group became collectively more racist. No.No.No. They were always racist. They are always going to be racist. They ain't no more racist today than they was at the last poll taken on this. No Obama didn't lose them. He never had them. The whites he lost were lost because the m**f**r wasn't progressive enough! Losing due to racism! Puh-lease! He losing me. And I ain't white.

The reality is President Obama never overcame his self-destruction in the first debate. You can say that he landed some blows late in the fight to tighten up the final margin, but he never recovered from his overwhelming loss in the early rounds.

Rasmussen’s poll on the 2012 debates: 49% say Romney won; compared with 41% for Obama. Before the first debate Romney was toast. Obama gave him a chance.

Many of these same white independents voted for Obama in 2008. Economics trumped white identity for these voters in 2008. I would say the same holds true for these voters in 2012.

The October 29 poll by the Pew Research Center offers the most detailed analysis.

I don't think that's who he meant.
Oh, the cognitive dissonance!

"Well ah I mean that..." "For real?" "Let me take a moment to think about that." "Wow!" "I'm shocked!" "I dunno, man...That really messed up."

@MB. Thanks. I missed that rip off of Howard Stern's routine. I actually emailed the show's producer about it. But your point is well-taken. I will be doing something shortly on it.

@Nomad. Hell, he was right, as are you. The masses are indeed asses.

I think it's reprehensible that folks think they've got to vote for evil --lesser, more effective, whatever-- but please don't add insult to injury by not recognizing, acknowledging and admitting the evil you're voting for. If you don't know that this is what you're voting for then indeed you are an ass. An ignorant ass. If you do know and you vote for it anyway, then you're just complicit. Time washes away all bloody hands. Innocent dupes you can claim to have been in 2008. In 2012 you know exactly, if you've been paying attention, what you're voting for.

Here's a thought. We black,right? I mean that in the MLK, content of character sense. Ment'ly. Black is a state of mind. Why not, unlike in 2008, vote for an actually black candidate? Someone who actually stands for the principles MLK stood for? Huh? Huh?

The election is like the NBA season. It's too long, and only the last four weeks are going to matter.
