Well, I know people who are voting for McCain because he is old. The last, dying gasp of the elder Boomers, who still want to be the big societal influence they've always been as a group and can't stand the thought of letting the next generation have a whack at running things. I've had many discussions with such persons, and even though they might have little in common with McCain ideologically they are tempted to vote for him merely because he's in their age range. So sure, there are people who will vote for Obama because he's a black man, but I'm not so sure I buy Scaeagle's Bradley explanation. I cannot see where in that statement that Will mentions this- he's seems pretty specific about the black guilt thing actually moving people to cast a vote, not lying to pollsters.
