McCain Campaigns for Obama on Larry King...
Honestly, I don't think he understands he's running AGAINST Obama, not FOR him:
TAMPA, Fla. – Republican presidential candidate John McCain says racism will play virtually no role when voters head to the polls next Tuesday because it will be trumped by the nation's economic problems.
In a transcript of an interview taped for broadcast Wednesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live," McCain said people will vote "for the best of reasons, not the worst of reasons." He said most people will vote based on who they want to lead the country.
Referring to people who might vote against Democrat Barack Obama because he is black, McCain added: "It would be a tiny, tiny, minority. Because people are hurting too much now. I mean, they're worried about staying in their homes, keeping their jobs."

He isn't trying to help Obama. He's trying to send the message that if Obama loses, it's only because voters rejected Obama on his merits, not because they were too racist to elect a black man. His assertion runs contrary to studies which indicate that racist attitudes are alive and well among a substantial portion of the electorate, Democrats as well as Republicans.
Right. Actually, if Obama were a white dude, this would be a slaughter. I think it's ONLY because he's black that it's a close race.
This isn't already a slaughter?!
Not anywhere near as much as should be, and the game's still afoot. ANYTHING can happen between today and Tuesday.
