Barack Obama Notes

Obama and Race

• 5% openly say they'd prefer to vote for a white candidate: [http://www.slate.com/id/2175496/]
• 13% think Obama is Muslim
• Anecdotes:
• Ferraro (white woman) thinks Obama would not be where he is if he was a woman
• RP (white man) thinks Obama would not be where he is if he were not black OR a woman
• Neither of these can cite any evidence, yet they appear quite convinced
• I have yet to hear any black male state that he thinks being a black male was a big help to Obama
