		<description>Like we didn&#039;t know &lt;strong&gt;this&lt;/strong&gt; was coming:  &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080606/ap_on_el_pr/obama_generation&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Young voters: Obama&#039;s race as an asset, non-issue &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Because the enlightened young people, you see, aren&#039;t racists like their elders:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Rather than just being tolerant of race, we embrace and accept our differences,&quot; says Alisha Thomas Morgan, a 29-year-old black state lawmaker in Georgia. &lt;strong&gt;&quot;We all recognize that racism still exists. But I think younger people are much more willing to get over it.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But while the report offers no evidence that older voters are motivated by racism, it does quote Obama supporters who &lt;strong&gt;are&lt;/strong&gt; motivated by race.  The irony seems to be completely lost on the reporter:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Certainly, the chance to vote for a black man is part of the appeal, Morgan says. &quot;It&#039;s fine if they vote for him because he&#039;s African-American, as long as they don&#039;t stop there,&quot; she says. &quot;But I would be voting for Obama whether he was white or whatever. &lt;strong&gt;The fact that he is African-American is a plus.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So if you&#039;re not voting for Obama, especially if you&#039;re over 40, it&#039;s probably because you still have racism ingrained in you.

Get used to this nonsense - we&#039;re going to hear it for another 5 months.  And for four years after that if he wins.</description>
