Race keeps coming up in the campaign for the Presidency. But it is not Republicans discussing Senator Obama's race, it is the Obama campaign calling the McCain campaign racist. I don't see how reminding those white voters that are reluctant to vote for a black man that Obama is half-African is a winner. And calling the campaign that never mentions race racist is certainly a loser.
Ruth Ann Dailey has a more detailed discussion in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette.

Greetings from breezy, rainy Houston!
I think Obama made a mistake repeating his lines about his opponents pointing out his "funny name" and that he looks different from the other presidents.
Of course he means all of the right-wing nut-jobs on talk radio saying those things. Those people are supporters of McCain, but they are not McCain himself.
I haven't been too impressed with Obama lately, but I'm starting to seriously dislike McCain. The presidential race is starting to materialize along the familiar lines of the last 2 elections. Rednecks will be 90% for McCain, "liberal elites" 90% for Obama. Razor-thin close results.
My 2 cents!
