I take it you have done the footwork to provide the statistics to this. In all honesty I'd say no more than 10% of McCain supporters in this state voted for McCain because Obama is black.

I'd say a larger number voted for McCain because they thought Obama might be a Muslim.

Same point that I am trying to convey. Either way the point I am trying to get across is if you want to make the argument that people are against Palin because she is a women. Thus, making the argument that many of those same people are being sexist. You must look at the counter point of people being racist. That is my point Bettle, honestly I know of at least 100 people at JUST Pikeville College whom I either have class with or associate with on a weekly bases who have stated one or the other. That they (1) Voted for McCain because Barack Obama is a terriorist or (2) They would never vote for a black man (however using other dirragatory language). I am not saying all McCain supporters were like that but many were. Probley more McCain supporters placed there vote on that rather then being sexist and not voting for McCain because he had a women as his running mate. I could care less if your black, white, hispanic, male, female, heterosexual, homosexual, etc. if I believe you could run this country better that is why I am voting for you. If I think you could lead us in the right direction better then the man or women who stands next to you making counter points, then I am going to vote for you.
