I can't say I agree

Reader comment on item: Predicting the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election

Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Apr 24, 2008 at 01:37

Unfortunately, I'll have to deviate from Dr. Pipes here. I think that Obama will stand a chance of winning because since 1972, our nation has become much more left-wing minded as our institutions of higher learning have been utterly perverted by people who think along the same lines as Obama.

Also, I feel that many of them will vote for him just to show everyone how tolerant they are to vote for a "black" man. I realize that Mr. Obama is biracial, but naturally, his African heritage is emphasized not only for white guilt purposes but also to counter Hilary's "I am woman hear me roar" campaign.

He'll take California, which I think has 55 electoral votes, DC, VT and MA for sure.
