Obama/Biden have been severely handicapped during this campaign.

I was just thinking how unfair this campaign has been for the democratic ticket. How they have had to campaign with one hand tied behind their backs while the other side is allowed to run amuck acting crazy and hateful and still Obama is the "dangerous one".

Think about it,
1. Obama and Biden are not allowed to attack Palin because she is a women. All the news analysts and campaign advisors are tell them the same thing...don't attack Palin, it will come across like you are attacking all women.

2. Obama is not allowed to be himself, not to say he's some ghetto racial sterotype, but the same advisors and analysts are not only telling him to not attack Palin, but also to tone down his "blackness". They all say Obama cannot appear too black, he can't get too aggressive or show too much emotion. He needs to stay calm and eloquent in order for some white folk to not be scared of him.

How crazy is that?

So Obama and Biden have had to tip toe around McCain and Palin in order to avoid being perceived as "an angry black man" or a "woman hater"

Meanwhile Palin and McCain are allowed to make whatever borderline racial slurs they want it's "all good"....whatever....

1. Welcome to the world of discrimination.......

That's how it works.

And of course, it is patently unfair.

3. damn straight.

'Be twice as good, maybe you'll get half the respect'

It's what we learn here :)

Barack will win, despite all that.

He's that good.
