Voting Based on Race Only?

...

I applaud the creator of this poll for his/her observation. Indeed, this election isn't Obama vs. McCain, but rather Obama vs. racism and ignorance. In no way, shape or form does logic apply to the belief that John McCain would make a better leader of a nation than Barack Obama. Thus, although I don't mean to be cruel, but realistic instead, any one person who votes Republican in this election is plagued by either racism (whether conscious or subconscious) or ignorance.

Having said that, however, this poll will fail to yield valid results because ignorance and racism are much more concentrated in rural areas like the South. If I had to guess, I'd say the vast majority of the Mister Poll population is composed of people who are not from, or do not live in, the South. Therefore, you're really only polling Obama supporters. It's gonna be a landslide.

I did like the poll, though. I'm glad this issue was finally addressed.
