Are there some people who just cannot bring themselves to vote for an African-American? Yes

Douglas Wilder
Mayor of Richmond, Virginia

Two decades ago, Douglas Wilder watched as a 9% lead in the polls going into Virginia's gubernatorial election slipped to just one-tenth of 1% when the ballots were counted.
…

Nonetheless, Mr Wilder remains optimistic about Mr Obama's chances for a number of reasons.
“I do think there is going to be a so-called 'reverse Bradley effect' because I think there are some Republicans who won't openly say they are going to vote for Barack Obama, but will,” he said.

The winner of the election hinges upon the confidence that voters have in the strategy for fixing the problems that have become apparent in these turbulent times. One of the problems is with the issue of regulation or deregulation. It has become apparent that some regulation of the financial sector is necessary, since deregulation led to the current crunch that we are in. However, how much is too much? Total regulation delves into socialism. One of the lesser known industries that will be affected by the regulation of the financial industry is the payday loan industry. Payday loan lenders across the country are facing more and more regulation from government, which cites “predatory lending” and enormous interest rates that would only be possible if a consumer were to take out a loan every two weeks for an entire year, which most lenders would not allow. Restricting legislation at the national level would outlaw the industry in all but name, and this service which exists to help people in their time of emergency need would cease to be, leaving the only options available to be credit cards, overdraft and resultant NSF fees, bank loans, and other options such as going to loan sharks, none of which are very palatable and get people further over their heads than a payday advance possibly could from most reputable lenders.
