>> if you vote for someone just because of the color of his skin even though he was the polar opposite of you in politics. What would you call that person ? I do not consider that racist. Colin Powell supported Obama but it wasn't racist. It is possible, although uncertain, that Rice did, as well. I heard Charles Payne of Fox Business News -- a fiscal conservative by any measure -- asked who he voted for, to which he replied Obama. When asked why, his answer was straightforward -- he felt it was more important to see a black man elected than it was to concern himself with the policy details. He also said he doesn't regret his vote, although I don't think he would be supporting Obama this time around. I really don't blame any African American for voting for Obama because he was black. Even though I radically disagree with my sister-in-law's politics, if she were running, I'd likely vote for her.
