Will McCain Play the Race Card?
by Roger Simon
They wheeled George Wallace in backward and then lifted him onto a seat behind his bulletproof lectern. Confetti, thrown by little girls in straw hats, caught in his swept-back hair. Wallace waved to the crowd.
We were in Southie — South Boston — in February 1976, and Wallace was running for president. Five hundred people were packed into a small hall, and 300 more waited outside in the cold.

To answer your question, Mr. Simon, yes, he will. He already has. And his sidekick Palin is playing the gender card, too. It's called: "Do whatever you have to do to get elected." Fortunately for us (and by "us" I mean the United States of America (a country that believes, or should believe, in teaching science in the classroom instead of bible studies), McCain can't find a way to survive the Darwinism of the electoral process now just as he couldn't when he ran against Bush. He and his supporters just don't have the gray matter. You know, the stuff that got humans to beat out the chimps.

It hurts me so much to hear people say Barack Obama is a Muslim. And I believe the only reason why people continue to think this is because they are racist. They figure any man with the last name Obama must be a Muslim. They forget his mother is white. His grandparents who raised him is white. He was raised around mostly white children at his school. Why must this nation be so divided. Will there ever be a nation that believes this is not a blue America or a red America, nor is it a black or white America, This is the Untied States of America. And that;s what I love about this country because its the land of opportunity not race baiting. I ask every American to please put race aside and vote for a candidate's that has the best plan to get us out of this mess we're in. We have to stick together if we want to have a safe America. I love all people and you should also no matter what color they are. It's the American way.
