I don't know who will win the election. There are of course honorable legitimate reasons to vote for either major party candidate. But this election also shows a look into the ugly id of some people like John Sununu.

It is laughable that someone who was born in Cuba feels so comfortable questioning the legitimacy and patriotism of someone who was born in the US. Now Sununu is claiming that the only reason Powell endorsed Obama is that they're both black. This is ugly reptillian brain stuff. But it also shows you how Sununu thinks. The logical next question then to Sununu (and anyone who shares that thinking) is since all the past Presidents have been white was that the only reason that Sununu endorsed them? If Sununu says yes then at least he's honest. If he would say no (as I suspect he would) then of course he's saying something about how he views black people.

Then you have Trump and his obsession with President Obama's grades. "See you only got a B+ in this class so that means you're unqualified and must be impeached!!!!".

And the less said about Palin the better.
The f*****d up thing is that although the President may well lose the election and thus remove the proximate cause of this particular conservative racial primal scream, there are of course millions of people who think like Sununu, Trump and others and they remain safely ensconced in positions of authority in businesses and colleges and government offices across the US. So it goes.
