An AP-Yahoo poll claims that racism may cost Barack Obama the election. The only problem is, it’s Democrats they are talking about as being the racists, not Republicans.

Poll: Lingering racism may hurt Obama

From the article,

“One-third of polled white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks.”

“40 percent of all white Americans hold at least a partly negative view toward blacks, and that includes many Democrats and independents.”

“Lots of Republicans harbor prejudices, too, but the survey found they weren’t voting against Obama because of his race.”

“[T]he Illinois Democrat is drawing almost unanimous support from blacks, the poll shows, though that probably wouldn’t be enough to counter the negative effect of some whites’ views.”

“Race is not the biggest factor driving Democrats and independents away from Obama. Doubts about his competency loom even larger, the poll indicates. More than a quarter of all Democrats expressed doubt that Obama can bring about the change they want, and they are likely to vote against him because of that.”

Another attempt at guilt tripping Democrats into voting for a deeply flawed candidate? Be your own judge.
