    Not according to McCain himself.

    Go back and listen to his speech at the Alfred dinner in NY.

    Bottom line is that you're wrong. Obama is simply not of African-American descent

    have a nice day

    Well, the election is largely one big popularity contest. So if one candidate brings in significantly larger crowds than the other candidate, that's at least a decent indicator of 1) the popularity of that candidate and 2) the enthusiasm of that candidates supporters.

    Obama draws 100K people. McCain has people walk out after Palin finishes speaking.

    That's a lot of not real Americans from a not pro-American part of America.

    If those big crowds turn out for the election for St Louis, it will help Obama win Missouri. McCain needs to get more voters in battleground states like Missouri, Virginia, Florida, and Ohio.

    McCain: Obama Policies Socialist

    Does anybody see the subtle misinformation being used here? Use a zoomed out, low res photo of Obama's HUGE rally and make it a McCain headline, as if that is a giant throng of McCain supporters. (he wishes he could pull that)

    Clearly if you look hard enough, that is Obama addressing the folks, but to someone who has not seen the Obama 100K rally story or photos, they would easily assume that is someone introducing McCain at a rally.

    Cheap tactics by the sludge machine.

    Yep, let's see...

    A Kenyan = African
    An American = American

    African + American = African American.

    Hey you might learn something today Texxx.

    lol you're being purposefully obtuse

    the liberal pile-on technique at its finest. Fact is that Obama doesn't share a history with what Zboy mentioned. Descent is the word in question

    You don't think his father being Kenyan qualifies him as having African descent?

    Honestly?

    Oh, that's right you think he is arab....got it.

    I see your argument. His father is straight up African.

    His mother is straight up white.

    Neither of them were African American.

    Thus he has no trace of African-American in him...only half African and half American.

    Good call, now I wont vote for him. What a fraud.

    :D

    Actually, that's not true. No matter Obama's technical ancestory, he looks black. So I'm sure at some point in his life he has experienced some of the racism that a black dude would face in this country. The same goes for say, a Dominican that moves here.

    Try again............
