Election?... What election?

All these endless pundits on TV and radio (And all over the internet, me included.... 
) can get a bit wearing, but in these last few hours two points keep getting hammered over and over again and I seem to be the only person who can see some kind of irony in it.
It seems that thousands upon thousands of coloured citizens are voting for the first time because they finally have a black man they can vote for, it's also being suggested that some white folks might just be voting for McCain on account of Obama isn't the right colour. For some reason it's regarded as A Good Thing that the black folks are pouring out to vote for a black president, but abhorrent that white folks may vote for a white president.
Why? They're both being racist.
:big sigh:
What's new in Baltimore?
(I may explain that slightly cryptic question tomorrow, if the dentist doesn't kill me first).
