There really should be an IQ test before someone is allowed to vote. It's really pathetic how campaigns pander to the lowest common denominator, and it actually works.
Oh no! A black man uses a common idiom to describe something that is somewhat related to a white woman. Run for the hills, Ma Barker, the scary black man is at it again! This is such a non-issue, yet the people are running away with it all because it involves a black man and a white woman.

I didn't really see anybody on this thread 'run away with it', and I don't personally know anybody who is. Most of us seem to understand that Obama didn't mean it that way. I don't think the majority of the public will fall for it.
You may be smart enough to understand what he meant, but I have a feeling a lot of people are going to fall for the perception that a black man was assaulting (verbally) a white woman.
I don't think anybody cares about it being a black man. Race isn't that big of a deal to the majority of Americans these days. But I do believe a large portion of people (mostly people who would already vote for McCain) will buy it outright, and if nothing else it gets negative news for Obama on the air which is really all that the McCain camp is aiming for. Read the article I posted in the topic I link to in my first post. That shit works. If you lie about your opponent publicly alot of people will believe it.
Which is why the GOP is so good at kicking democrat's asses, and I think McCain will win in the end. The GOP are willing to fight waaay dirtier. Democrats will fight dirty, but they don't know how or aren't willing to stoop as low as necessary to win. Bushes past two victories were disgusting (especially bush's victory of McCain in 2000), and though this started out with me thinking that it was win win both candidates would be great, by now I am once again disgusted. McCain seems to quickly be throwing out everything he stood for just for a chance at victory (not that Obama is any more deserving).

People will probably have forgot about this by next week.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

And it will be replaced by a completely different asinine flame war to keep people pissed off at someone until election day. November can't get here fast enough.

It's no secret, I am voting Obama but I think this is a bad route for McCain to go.
McCain is playing with words. The statement is not just being taken out of context, it's being put into another to bring this election to a new low. It's not the first time this election that either side had done this, but it was the first time it was used to warp it into a non-political issue.
McCain is going to end up scaring away moderate Republicans (the one's who got him nominated) if he keeps playing with words.
He separated himself from the pack by being a smart, well spoken, straight talking politician who never played the victim card or playing these games.
Most importantly, this is not good for the country.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Well, Obama said what he speech writers told him to say, and McCain is not playing with words, his political team is.
This is just politics as usual, and it hurts Obama more then McCain. Obama's big messages is he is something new that will unite a country. As we get closer, and we see he is nothing more then a typical politician, a lot of his message is lost.
This will then get down to the issues, and when you get down to the issues, Obama is in bad shape.
This is exactly what Obama said:
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
