Comments on: John McCain: I am not George Wallace http://globalcomment.com/2008/john-mccain-i-am-not-george-wallace/ where the world thinks out loud Fri, 19 Mar 2010 13:43:38 +0000 hourly 1 By: GallingGalla http://globalcomment.com/2008/john-mccain-i-am-not-george-wallace/comment-page-1/#comment-1779 GallingGalla Sat, 25 Oct 2008 02:18:16 +0000 http://globalcomment.com/?p=506#comment-1779 I've been tracking <a href="http://electoral-vote.com/" rel="nofollow">Obama's poll standings</a> for a month or so, and noticing that his campaign is flipping more and more states. Today Obama flipped Indiana, the first time I've seen that state go blue. I know about the phenomenon of people telling pollsters that they'll vote for Obama when they intend to vote for McCain, but still, this makes me think that with McCain stirring up such blatant racism and putting it out in the open, where we can't mentally sweep it under the rug, that more people are getting fed up with it. So, maybe there's some hope, with racism becoming so open, that we as a nation are starting to confront it.
