I wish our country was mature enough to vote for people because of who they are and not what they are. But it's not. It's just not. There's a WHOLE LOTTA country between our two coasts... and clearly WAY too much West Virginia. NOW do you understand my rant about John Edwards pulling out of the campaign??????

I see what you mean, now. I'm getting nervous about that as well. And as The Daily Show pointed out last night, McCain has now jumped onto the global warming bandwagon. Never have I felt more pandered to in my life. Fuck off, old man. Yes, I cultivate lots and lots of racist friendships!

And they’re your friends?</i> Yes, I cultivate lots and lots of racist friendships! Sorry, I might have posted out of turn. I don't think it's so much race as divisiveness amongst the liberals over the candidates. I've read polls that say people may sooner vote McCain than for the OTHER candidate. Sorry, my comment was off topic. They won’t vote for him because he’s black? And they’re your friends?

Don't get me wrong -- Hilary's allowed to be happy that she's getting votes, and she's free to gloat about that. And I'm not implying that she herself is racist. But it feels wrong somehow. Like being happy that your co-worker had a heart attack, because it means you'll get promoted to their job. I know it's an impractical notion, but part of me wants her to be telling people, "Vote for me because I'm the better candidate, not because I'm white. And shame on you if you're only voting for me because I'm not black. It's the 21st century. Grow up, and stop being so close-minded!" But again, I know that's impractical.

Recently I went home and was talking to my mom about the election. She said Obama seemed nice but that she was worried he might have connections to terrorists. She is not a dumb person, but I was sort of embarrassed for her at the time. But she lives with my grandparents (due to illness) and they make sure the tv is either on baseball or Fox News, so I guess I can understand the ignorance of fact. They did tell me that even though it's a dissapointment that I'm voting democrat, they would rather me be an Obama fan than a Hillary fan. The Clinton hate runs deep in the south.

But I guess I expected it. What infuriates me is the media's blanket treatment of it. The rednecks in WV are different from the rednecks elsewhere. But when you feed them a line on how they're supposed to vote...I don't like it. It’s not that the racism doesn’t bother me - it does. But I guess I expected it.
