The "Race" continues...

Well it seems as if Obama is leading and if you grabs Ohio and Texas it's pretty much game over for Clinton. Clinton has to grab those two states in order to even still be in the competition. It's funny because the whole race issue still continues in the media. I read an article in CNN where they talked about how Clinton was "supposed" to win her last couple of states because of the large "latino" population. Really, what the hell?! So automatically women and Latinos are "supposed" to vote for Clinton, blacks are "supposed" to vote for Obama and all other whites with money are "supposed" to vote for McCain? To be honest, it's great to see how voters are for the most part breaking out of their boxes that the media is placing them in and shaking up the election. If the voter's voted the way the media suggest, things would be different as far as the results go at this point. Also, I feel that people are growing tired of Clinton and McCain's attacks on Obamba's "promises". In actuality, they are making promises too and they are focusing more on attacking Obama than proving their platforms to the American people.

What type of evidence have you found of people voting outside their boxes?

I do think it is true that people are going to attack Obama's promises, but I think it is fair to say that people's promises are attacked all the time in presidential campaigns. Everyone has something to lose, making the stakes high, and the accusations dirty. It is true that I have not heard a lot of specifics from Obama, but also not from either of the other two candidates, and it is also unlikely to see that type of information in the mainstream media. It is just too boring! :0
