Conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh yesterday asserted that Obama's "only chance of winning is that he's black." Limbaugh has previously called Obama "an affirmative action candidate" and said that "[i]f Barack Obama were Caucasian, they would have taken this guy out on the basis of pure ignorance long ago."
While many analysts wonder to what extent Obama's race may hurt him in the polls, Limbaugh has made the strange argument that, in a society with a significant degree of overt and subtle racism, a black candidate may somehow do better than a white one.
