Race War in America if Obama loses?

Not If Illinois Is Example.

I'm a fifth-generation Chicagoan who's lived in the heart of Lake County Il for the last few years; Zion, Waukegan, Beach Park areas; I also was a member of the Hyde Park Co-Op grocery until Daley killed it off this year...oh, and I'm Caucasian. Naw, most of us here are inetracially viewing politicians just like w always have; sure, a media-grabber white power yells once in a trillion, a small group of African Americans shouts down with all whites, and almost 99.999% of the rest of us, including Hispanics and Asiatics and Middle Easterners, get along fine as always. Curious, though...this is the first election in my lifetime I recall literally no one having a lapel button or bumper sticker for ANYONE at any level...we all seem to wish somebody else was running for everything, I guess, at least someone to whom we're not pests.

Conservatism inspires

As a Southerner, Race is a much bigger issue down here than in many other parts of the country. I live in Alabama and there are still Ku Klux Klan pockets in some rural areas of the state but they are uneducated radicals for the most part and have no political affiliation that I know of. Americans as a whole are honest and decent people. I think the Democrats are mistaken when they refuse to realize that most of the country is Conservative.
This is a big reason why I think you won't find too many people with the bumper stickers. John McCain is not an exciting candidate. Until he introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate he was headed for a landslide type defeat. Palin true home grown conservatism sparks Americas interest because they see someone just like themselves. If this was the Palin/McCain ticket instead of the other way around I think you would see a lot more bumper stickers.
