For the most part, I believe this to be true. But to not acknowledge that were were a LOT of black people out there that voted on him strictly because he is a black man, and conversely, a lot of white people that wouldn't vote for him for that same reason, is turning a blind eye to the total truth.
I believe that there are many people out there, that if every word that McCain spoke would have come from Obama and every word that Obama spoke would have come from McCain, they still would have chosen the candidate that they did because it wasn't as much about what was said but who was saying them. I hope that I'm more wrong on this than I am right but I don't think I am.
