According to the newly released Zogby (http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1499 - broken link) tracking poll Obama had a strong final day of polling and has increased his lead in NC to 51%-37%. Among the 30% surveyed who had already voted, Obama leads 57%-34%. According to the polls, this looks to be an Obama victory, the only question is by how much and will it offset Clinton gains in Ind.?

He's in the Republican camp. But since Obama supporters don't look at the issues by default, I figure it didn't matter as long as he's all the way black.

It's ok. I'm sure others will support your racist tendencies for the "greater good".

Alan Keyes is always running for something, it's just hard to keep track what office it is. Remember he ran against Obama in 2004 and received less than 30% of the vote. About the only things Keyes is good at is making a fool of himself and doing a nifty Uncle Tom impersonation.

Keyes' campaign against Obama in Illinois (especially Chicago) was some of the funniest bit of political theater I've ever been witness to, including Chicago aldermanic elections.

Uncle Tom = convenient catchphrase invented by racists who are too politically correct to use the term 'oreo'.

I suppose a superior level of education and supporting conservative values is sufficient to earn "uncle tom" status.

Anything to win, right?
