I just feel that deep down Obama is "another rich white politician." Not that I feel any different about McCain. But I digress, this thread is about how the political and cultural landscape is changing for the better.

The thing you have to understand is that Obama is not just "another rich white guy." He grew up in a single family very middle class family and fought his way through life. Even now, he's CLEARLY the more qualified candidate, and he's fighting through this mostly because of his race. Sure he has a very nice house but compared to McCains multi-million dollar houses (8 of them) his seems like a shack. McCain's condo in Cali is 6 mil alone.
