Plus I have kind of a hard time imagining large numbers of non-misogynist racist Dem. voters.

I have a hard time believing there are all that many seriously racist voters left who are active Democrats.  They all left for the GOP years ago.  Why would they stay with the Dems?  I'd be suprised if there were any more racists in the Dem. Party than there are African-Americans in the Republican.

It's understandable that African-Americans want to vote for Obama.  But for the rest of us working stiffs worried about serious bread-and-butter issues, vague promises of "hope" and "change" and "unity" have very little appeal.

This race is so mucked up, though, with gender and race and Clinton hatred, it's never going to be possible to have any kind of consensus on voter motivations.
