Obama tactics

Here are two headlines featured on Drudge today:

• Kansas Gov.: Obama's race 'may be a factor'...
• CNN's Jack Cafferty: Only Racism Explains Close Polls...

Both represent pernicious canards - vastly more voters will support Barack Obama because of his race than will oppose him. The stories are both an attempt to influence the election now and preparation of the media battlefield for the very ugly struggle that will follow an Obama loss in November (if that happens).

If you think the debate is ugly now, you ain't seen nothing yet. And all this from the campaign that says it wants to unify America.
