I was surprised but not displeased by Obama's win in Iowa. He's a very
appealing guy, and articulate. My fear is that despite his qualities, in
a general election, whitey isn't going to vote for "the black guy."

Some whiteys, perhaps, but Iowa is 2.5% black. There were a lot of white
people who caucused for him. While I think it's silly, I've heard more
grumbles about Romney's Mormon religion, than I have about Obama being
black, or Hillary being female.

Well, it will take more than the enlightened white Democratic voters to
put a black man in the top job. You need lots of Independents, too.

I imagine the Republican "swiftboaters" are drooling.

I suppose Romney's Mormon religion is troubling to "Christian" voters
who vote mostly on "faith" issues. I find Romney totally obnoxious and a
flip-flopping panderer. I know next to nothing about the Mormon faith,
have no interest in it, and don't care about any candidate's personal
religious beliefs, so long as they are kept mostly personal. The fact
that the Huckster keeps bring up his brand of Christianity makes him no
different to me than any other religious zealot, and therefore someone
to oppose.
