8. Racism is a reason why this election is close

If it were not for the subtle and not so subtle racist comments and actions of Faux News and right-wing talk radio, this election would be a near-landside; similar to Clinton/Dole in 1996. This media outlets are feeding the racist mindset of many of the low-information voters who listen to the O'Reilly's', Hannity's, Lindbaugh's, Savage's, et al. out there. They tell these lazy people what to think; they are either too lazy or unintelligent to investigate topics and form their own options.

I can't wait until election night when Obama/Biden will re-election by a comfortable margin. Perhaps we can even gain control of the House (wishing thinking, I know; but, we should gain a large number of seats, along with gaining Senate Seats).

I may even unblock the parental controls we have on the Faux News Channel to watch them cry and sulk.
