It's beginning to become a close race for both of them and the economic rescue package has only thrown a kink into things … Once that was passed through congress and the President signed it, it was only a matter of time before Obama's poll ratings were going to sky rocket. Winning the elction now is going to set Obama up for the following headline: First Black President is an Economic Failure! Beginning his presidency with a $700 billion deficit in his lap is a sure fire way to bring him down — those Republicans are clever. McCain is just posturing because it looks good.

This is bad news for Obama, as the time winds down race is going to become a bigger part of the McCain/Palin message. When I hear comments like: "This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," I worry less about Ayers and Wright as these "stories" are old news to the American public. I am troubled by the subtle language that clearly states "he's different", "he's not like us", "HE'S BLACK". It worked against Harold Ford Jr. and it worked against Cynthia McKinney.

Say it isn't so, Sarah…want to talk about your church in Alaska and the black minister driving out witchcraft? Don't think so, I betcha!
