Race against the 'Race'

It was color of skin that highlighted many part of the Obama-Clinton race which lasted for roughly 18 months to cover the whole of the United States. At any given time that race seemed in the offing in some point in public discussions the racial issue sends sine shiver to many color or non-color race. This racial issue has somehow given Obama, being on the colored side, leverage that somehow and unknowingly fulcrums his campaign ahead of Clinton’s.

For ‘change’ Obama campained. Does that have a subliminal message related to color change?

Washington Post writers Michael D. Shear and Jon Cohen reported on a survey that is race related as it is working class specific. While the survey has Barack Obama on a 10 point lead against John McCain among the nation's low-wage workers, many of which are still not fully convinced that either of the two presidential candidates would be better off than the other. This is referenced to on each ones capability to providing remedy to an already ailing economy or even improving the health-care system that would impact on these low-wage workers.

Factoring in Obama's advantage would be largely due to an overwhelming support from two traditionally Democrat constituencies: the African Americans and the Hispanics. Despite this survey result however white workers as a voting block still has been targeted by both contending parties since it could still tilt the balance to victory for either party. Obama’s lead by 10 percentage points over McCain, 47 percent to 37 percent, advantaged by the more empathetic candidate is still not a comfortable margin for a guaranteed victory in November.

The tilt will come from one in six of the white workers surveyed that remains uncommitted to either candidate both white and race of color are still ambivalent about the impact of the election having their reservations on the outcome of such elections on their real life personal financial needs. It seems that history have proven their reservations right that no change in leadership would really produce such genuine reforms to impact the society down to the grassroots level.

As the Washington Post study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University suggest the perspective of the citizens today referring to politics are shaped partly by their personal condition in the current economy.
