Does Poll Show Obama Will Lose Because of Race?

You probably have heard broadcasted from every media outlet that an AP-Yahoo poll found that racism may keep Obama from being elected President.

Racism, racism, racism. If Obama loses, we are supposed to believe that racism is the cause.

But if you dig deep into the poll you'll find that blacks are almost unanimously for Obama - which is a race bias that somewhat negates the alleged racism against Obama.

But if you dig even farther - you'll find something that almost no media outlet is reporting: that many more people doubt Obama's qualifications to be President than have concerns about his race:

"Race is not the biggest factor driving Democrats and independents away from Obama. Doubts about his competency loom even larger, the poll indicates. More than a quarter of all Democrats expressed doubt that Obama can bring about the change they want, and they are likely to vote against him because of that.

Three in 10 of those Democrats who don't trust Obama's change-making credentials say they plan to vote for McCain." Report here.

Now you've heard the rest of the story.
