The people of California at that time would be ashamed of what they did to Bradley. Today Americans are voting on behalf of world..the world economy is in tatters and we cannot afford another 4 years of the last eight years of visionless leadership of George Bush. This election has nothing to do with race or color. The candidates should be judged by the strength of their character and not by the color of their skins or eyes. If this election goes down to the issue of race, it would mark the beginning of the end of America as the leader of the free world.. 25 years is a long time.

From this time, every election, there will be a huge media influence in the results. In future, any candidate can lie in front of the whole nation..he didn`t know that his aunt was staying in USA illegally. There is nothing wrong with it coz lots people are staying in USA illegally and it doesn`t and shoudn`t cost Obama anything but the question is : How come a person doesn`t know about the status of his family member?? I just didn`t get it" Obama Effect : "In 2012, any candidate has to raise $1 billion to wrap up a successfull campaign.

I have known your network not to practice adulterated news. According to history, which says blacks were formed from ape, are completely false because they cannot prove it beyond reasonable doubt. We are human beings just like the white, we talk, we eat, we reason and we move around just like them. So we should not be subservient to anyone. Black African American is on the verge of making history, and i want to beg you all to double your effort with courage to continue to do what you know how to do best, by covering and giving us minute by minute details of the election poll. Obviously, without any sentiment, senator Barack Obama's manifesto is better than senator John Mccain. Barack Obama represents revolutionary trend. He is young and agile with great sense of humour and idea and also with great political clout. I have no doubt in my mind that, he is the man that fits America. God bless CNN! God bless America!!! Please accept my highest regards. Little Paul. From Nigeria.

Sen.Obama is highly intellectual, and his platform of ideas well suited for the drowning Americans right now. If he becomes the next President of USA this country will re-gain the respect and the honour (which has been drastically loosing since ages ) and will re-write the US history while returning the country into it's greatest, most powerful country on earth.

However, since Obama is running for the presidency, I feel like an American. I feel incredibly strong ties with America and with Americans. Thus, I already know what Obama effect is for me. I do sincerely hope that he will win the elections and the Obama effect can affect all other millions of young and old people from the middle east as well as from elsewhere in the world as it did change my attitudes toward America. In a strongly divided world, we really need someone who can build bridges, who can bring people, nations, religions and ideologies together! I really think that Obama will solve many complex international issues including the problems with Iran, North Korea as well as Israelian and Palestinian conflict. Perhaps, I (and all other Obama-believers) expect too much from one guy, but he is the ONE. The only ONE who gave me so much hope in my entire live that the ever lasting world problems can come to an end. Of course: YES WE CAN!

Major cities have BLACK mayors which would NOT have occurred without WHITE voter support. Now, as to the current presidential election: BLACKS are overwhelming voting for Obama in percentages that exceed historical democrat/republican ratios because he (in their minds) is BLACK -- that's racism, plain and simple. As a matter of fact, when asked, many American BLACKS cannot articulate one Obama policy but will freely admit that their vote for him is because he is BLACK - that's racism. In CNN's international interviews, recently aired in places such as Egypt, Kenya, other places in Africa, etc. the respondents said their affinity for Obama was because (in their opinion) he is BLACK - that's racism. I am a WHITE American who has voted for BLACK candidates many times in my 40+ years of voting. In the most recent election for senate in my state I voted for a BLACK candidate. This ugly attempt by media apologists to set up an "excuse" for an Obama loss (as unlikely as it appears to be) due to racism is alarming: don't you realize that you are stirring the flames that could reignite when, if their is racism in this election, it is as much (if not more) exercised by the biind racist votes of non-whites than the other way around. As an aside, do you at CNN remember when Obama first announced his candidacy, which community was most repulsed? Why it was the BLACK community (articulated by its self-annointed political leaders) who said Obama was not a "true BLACK" or that he was not "BLACK enough." It was not the white or non-black community making these outrageous and blatant racist comments from the get-go. Oh, by the way, I think Obama is really a WHITE guy with a tan: we are all a product of our genes AND our environment; the only thing BLACK in the Obama persona is the DNA for skin color of his father. Every other element of up-bringing, education, early childhood, adolescence, prep-school, and college was lilly WHITE. It is bizarre (to me) that a guy that is more "WHITE" than many (if not most) WHITE people sells himself to the world as the "BLACK" messiah. And you, Ralitsa, and the rest of CNN (and other media as well), are fostering and perpetuating what is fast becoming "urban legend." It is extrarordinarily unprofessional; and, it if you had the capacity for shame, you would be overwhelmed by it. But, of course, you don't; and, you will not. As I wrote at the outset, GET REAL (for a change).
