As for McCain, of course he still has a very good chance - Obama is a black, you see.

One of my favorite opebo lines.

Yeah. I almost made a thread about it myself. It's becoming one of his classic lines.

And there are honestly people who think Gabu was a better poster.

Amusing and if McCain wins, we'll never know how much that played into his win.

Sounds like Bill Cosby, who classically closes his sentences with, "Ya see".

Thanks, fellows.  I voted amused, as I certainly do amuse myself.

But I typed this line to remind our more innocent and modern-minded members of the ugly morass our poor Obama faces - american racism.

And thank you Naso, but I am about as far from a Cosbyesque character as they come...

The exit polling would probably give us some idea.

If McCain wins we'll know EXACTLY how much this played into things, since Obama's leading in the double digits right now. It would be more ambiguous if polling was closer to a month like July or August.

I like it. And it's almost certainly an accurate indicator of why Obama will lose Ohio on election night.

"If Obama wins, all of the ns will be looking for handouts."
"I've never been a fan of left-handed ns."


not to be Mike Naso here, but both of those quotes come from working-class members of my family that are union members/former union members.  both will vote for Obama in November.  I suspect that this will be the case in a lot of cases and it's been documented by roving journalists.

Yes.

It could be true in the end and I hate to admit he maybe right.

You have him winning Ohio on your prediction map.

Jesus. It's 2008. If we can't solve our most basic problems because of racism, can I be the first one to say that our clock is cleaned?

Opebo is hilarious. He's the only guy where I make it a point to read all his posts.

Hell, that's why I read this thread in the first place.

Only four of the original posts from 2008 were from posters who aren't Atlas legends. Wow.
