Obama's supporters will help him by being more honest, and political, about race. I have silently fumed, at times, reading the diaries from some of Obama's supporters for their unrealistic, and ahistorical, discounting of the effects of racism on the ongoing election. According to some, he is not really Black because his mother is White. Or they, personally, don't see color, so the voters won't either? My suggestion- inoculate him, as much as possible, beforehand.
