>You have actually encountered significant numbers of people who say, "I wouldn't vote for Obama because he is black"?

Well, they say things like, "I can't vote for him because he's going to get assassinated because he's black," or during the Dem primaries they'd say, "I'm not going to vote for him because he can't win the general because he's black." Those are on the Dem side.

And on the Rep side, a lot of it is a bit more subtle. There are PLENTY of people out there are insinuating that he's not American or he's Muslim, which they're using as a proxy for saying that "I'm not voting for him 'cause he's black."
