Does not voting for Obama based on his race make you silly, backwards and ignorant? In turn, does voting for him based on his race make you just as silly, backwards and ignorant?
What if we look at it from the inverse?
If you’re voting for Obama because he’s black, then are you not voting for McCain because he’s white? In turn, if you’re not voting for Obama because he’s black then are you voting for McCain because he’s white?

I never considered the inverse and don’t agree with it either. I don’t think race or sex should ever be a reason. But I would rather see someone vote based on those reasons than not at all.
