...Gov. David Paterson (NY) ...raised eyebrows again, and tempers, by accusing the John McCain campaign of veiled racism.
"I think the Republican Party is too smart to call Barack Obama 'black' in a sense that it would be a negative. But you can take something about his life, which I noticed they did at the Republican Convention – a 'community organizer.' They kept saying it, they kept laughing," he said.
...Paterson sees the repeated use of the words "community organizer" as Republican code for "black".

Unfortunately, this race is going to be a repeat of the 2000 election. Only this time, its going to be all about race. Do you have any idea how many people are going to show up to vote for Obama that have not followed the state election laws and registered? This race is going to be too close to have to deal with that! Its going to be a circus. If I were state election officials, I would be running ads that get people motivated to register or state "you will not be able to vote". I know this could work against the GOP, when's the last time (other than 2000 when they called FL for Gore too early) that you heard Republicans claim they were disenfranchised?
