#1 Trying hard to make people feel guilty and racist for not voting for their boy. If you have to go for the pity vote, what does that say about you.

#2 So, properly speaking, would that statement be that "one-third of white Democrats are bigots", "one-third of white Democrats are racists", or "one-third of white Democrats are prejudiced."

And, left unsaid, how many black Democrats are bigots, racists, or prejudiced. Certainly many, judging from remarks by black "leaders", like Reverend Jeremiah Wright, this year.

So between the two groups, are 40% of Democrats bigots, racists, or prejudiced, or more like 50%?

#3 That seems to be the theme "du jour" for the donks and their proxies in the MSM. White shame. A vote for McPalin = racism.

This indicates that the donks and their friends in the MSM are becoming increasingly frightened they may lose this. More importantly this could actually backfire on the donks. Some of the rational voters who will not figure out who they will vote for until they get behind the curtain will remember this, resent it, and pull McPain.

#4 white Democratic racism may cause 2.5 percent of voters to "turn away from Obama

Two point five percent are racist? Surely that is so low that we should be very proud of our citizenry.

#5 The report may now begin a conversation on race, one notably absent considering the historic nature of Obamas bid

I don't think so. The Obama/Axelrod 'hip-urban primary campaign' did a pretty damn good job of alienating traditional Democratic groups. The convention and post-convention antics have done further damage. Throwing in the continual-repeating line of "you won't vote for him because he's black" isn't going to help.

If there's going to be a 'conversation', I've a feeling it's going to be of the Clinton-era, encounter-group sort.
