Hey that didn't take long:

Pin at the GOP state convention in Texas: "If Obama is President... will we still call it the White House?"


Anyone surprised by this please raise your hand.

this is awesome. Normally I would expect the Ds to pull about 60%, but I'm willing to go down to 55 just to have the GOP put its cards on the table once and for all: 40 years as the party of the Confederacy. Just give them the beatdown this year - with a black Yankee at that, not some good ol' boy they can grudgingly accept just because he's got barbecue sauce on his chin - and we can get back to being the USA instead of having our country in thrall to a bunch of pants-pissing-terrified necks.

The O Train is coming. Be on it - or be under it.

I have to say the blatant racism is a bit breathtaking. I just hope it does backfire on them spectacularly. I'd like to say that I have enough faith in my countrymen to be certain it would, but...well then I think back on the past 7 years...

True. However, when you get right down to it, you can pretty much count on about 40% (and count out about 25%). so all you need is basically 1/3 of the leftovers and we're golden.

Basically, you need people to decide whether endless war, a deteriorating economy, and a general situation that 80% of the country thinks is on the wrong track - is all that worth keeping the White House lily-white?

If so, well, in 40 years we'll actually be what most of the crackers think France is now, so I guess it won't matter much.
