Allegations of Racism Become Democrats Last Hope

For a party that claims that race should not be a factor in the campaign for the Presidency, the Democrats and their media supporters seem to bring it up with a growing frequency.

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius raised the issue on Tuesday.  She asked an audience, "Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African American?"

The Democrats are unwilling to think that the same people who voted against John Kerry because he was a far-left liberal will not vote for Obama because he is a far-left liberal.   No, it must be racism...

Then we have the very impartial Jack Cafferty asserting that "Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election..." 

Cafferty goes on to note in the above linked blog entry that the impartial (my insertion) Time magazine's Michael Grunwald says "race is the elephant in the living room."

The real problem: Democrats cannot admit that Obama's problems with voters are policy-based. They can't acknowledge this fact because acceptance of that fact would force Democrats to acknowledge that their own policy positions are out of the mainstream.  That is just not possible in the liberal world in which these people live.

Race is not an elephant in the living room for conservatives. Conservative love elephants.  For the conservatives I know, race is a non-factor.

Race will, however, be an increasingly important issue to Democrats. None of their spaghetti has stuck to the wall so now they are going to the big guns. The threat of increasing racial conflict may be the last available weapon in their arsenal. 

In their growing desperation, Democrats will try anything to win this election. This includes painting every anti-Obama voter a racist.
