Race has been the subtext, the backstory throughout the campaign. And as various versions of the race card were played starting in January, the background noise got louder.
And the TV punditry didn't help, given that they're not prone to serious analysis much less simple factchecking.
But this is the internet, folks. Just Google!
although Hillary Clinton leads McCain among white women by three points, she trails among white men by twenty-three points. Meanwhile, Obama trails among white women by just one point, and trails among white men by fifteen. Obama's net margin relative to Clinton drops by four points among white women, but increases by eight points among white men.Overall, that means Obama is doing slightly better with white voters than is Hillary Clinton.
And this is according to a poll conducted entirely after the Wright controversy played itself out.
