Post-partisan, maybe, but NOT post-racial

Obama will be our first black President.

Something absolutely devastating would have to happen to prevent this. And this is why:

1. There are currently 7 million more Democrats than Republicans voting in the Primaries.

2. If McCain runs, the anti-gay, anti-immigrant conservatives and the unregulated capitalists stay home (and there are not enough occupation-supporting hawks to get him elected nationally); if Huckabee runs; the unregulated capitalists stay home or cross their fingers and vote for Obama.

It should be a landslide in favor of Obama. And knowing this will not deter Obama's supporters one whit.
