I don't think there are as many racist voters as you seem to think. Sure, there's gonna be some southern states that will stay red due to race issues, but overall Obama is polling very high when it comes to the 'likeability' factor.
Obama Does Not Always Get Good Job Ratings but His Likeability May Be the Key to a Win
"This 2012 election may, in fact, be the most personality-driven in recent memory. For several presidential election cycles now, Pew has been asking voters why they support their favored candidate: Leadership, Experience, Stand on Issues, or Personality. Among Romney supporters, 4 percent cite personality, the same percentage as cited it for Al Gore in 2000. For John McCain in 2008, the figure was 3 percent. For George W. Bush and John Kerry in 2004, it was 8 percent each. For Obama this year, it’s 18 percent."
Most people aren't even paying attention right now - when the conventions start gearing up, that's when folks will begin to form their opinions about Romney. Voters have had 4 years to get to like Obama.
A question - if Hillary Clinton had won the White House instead of Obama, would we be discussing the misogyny running rampant in the Republican party, and not the racism?

Re: BAIN
And we must not ignore that Hollywood is obviously out to get Mittens. Why else would those California elites name the latest Batman villain Bane?

Re: BAIN
FY -
I've PM'd you to continue our discussion. I'm sorry I lost our internet at work today so I couldn't see what was happening here.
Calm down, 'kay? Keep your head for the more important questions you have.
Go back to the HB thread - I'm asking nicely.

He is making fun of/mocking people who have started their own business and know they got there through being smart and working hard.
You Olympians, however, know you didn’t get here solely on your own power, said Romney, who on Friday will attend the Opening Ceremonies of this year’s Summer Olympics. For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities. All right!"
And of course, Romney was mocking & making fun of the athletes competing in the Olympics, too.

And how come Romney is spending millions of dollars trying to hide his tax returns? Is he deranged, or just trying to avoid answering to his effective tax rate over the years?
