McCain runs an ad that shows Obama and then shows two pretty white women and this isn't racist? It is the same thing the GOP did to Harold Ford.
No one, not even the Obama camp, is calling this a racist ad. It is. Subtle, but it is. No one's picked up on this. It makes me sick.
The Obama camp had a huge opening to declare that McCain is now pushing subtle racist messaging and they didn't make use of it and are on the defensive about the dollar bill thing. Maybe they don't get it. I don't know. I'm very disappointed.
When Dukakis left the convention in 87 he had a 17 point lead over Bush Sr. That was completely erased with the Willie Horton stuff and Dukakis lost big time.
I think the same thing is going to happen with Obama. I really doubt he can win. His numbers in key battleground states are starting to slip already.
