To the spouter from Villas: What news network made these accusations, that a local Republican in a Senate race in Arkansas stated, "the race was close because of white racism against Obama personally." Many Republicans have stated that Obama and the Democrats use race to drive up the minority vote, and as a white Democrat, I know that to be true. Over 55 percent of the voters that voted for Obama were white, while less than five percent of blacks voted for Romney. I could not find any news story to back your claim.
