    Default What If You Reversed Information about Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin?

    Interesting opinion article about subconscious racism in the current election.

    " What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

    What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?

    What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?"

    " Educational Background:

    Barack Obama:
    Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in International Relations.
    Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

    Joseph Biden:
    University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
    Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

    vs.

    John McCain:
    United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899

    Sarah Palin:
    Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
    North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism"

    Then it would be a slam dunk for McCain. Even more importantly, Obama never would have gone this far in the primaries.

    Ehh, this seems to be more an argument about classism and regionalism, not so much racism.

    But you see, to all those folks who didn't get to graduate college because life got in the way, or didn't get to go to a prestigious school, or had to go to the military because it will the only ticket out of Hooterville, those less impressive educational accomplishments of McCain and Palin would be seen as a positive, not a negative, even moreso when placed against Obama and Biden's law degrees.

    A fair democracy of course says that those folks should get to have a vote too, however silly some might consider their way of using it.
