Can you vote against Obama and not be thought of as a Racist?

Millions of Americans were swept up in the drama of the 2008 presidential contest and were proud to cast a ballot that helped elect the first African American president of the United States. Doing so was and will remain one of our nation’s crowning achievements. But there’s no denying that many of those same millions have soured on Obama because of what they believe he hasn’t been able to achieve. Yet, they are conflicted…

[b]By telling potential voters “It’s OK to make a change,” [/b]the RNC is acknowledging all that I mention above. [b]It’s OK to like the guy personally but not vote for him again. This is not a popularity contest. It’s OK to vote against the black guy..[/b]  You gave him a shot. He gave it his best shot. He failed. [b]And the most effective message is: “It’s OK to make a change” — and not be thought of as a racist.[/b]

[b]That’s why the “It’s OK to make a change” ad is the most dangerous for Obama’s reelection efforts. [/b]It give those few, yet crucial, undecided voters the pass they might be looking for to vote against Obama.[/quote]

Wow. Millions of voters might actually think that it is OK to vote against Obama even though he is black. This is the most fightening RNC Ad yet.  I can see why Mr. Capehart at the Washington Post is so worried.[/quote]
