Of course Salon attributes the GOP thrashing of the Democrats to racism.

^^Why don't you read the article and comment on its substance?

The article is well researched and fascinating. More evidence white people are disgusting and ignorant.

Um... what?

I'm not sure how the party that elected the first black senator in the south since reconstruction is defind as the party of 'racism'.

With 82% of the white vote too.

Uh, South Carolina would have elected a black Senator no matter what, considering that the Democratic opponent was black, too. I'm sure had it been a white Democrat against a black Republican, many current Republicans wouldn't have hesitated for a second to split their tickets.

You really think that if someone like Sheheen ran against Scott instead of Dickerson, the margin would've been different?

I don't think Scott would've lost any white voters, and I also don't think he would've gained any black voters.
