I am a black "silk stocking" Republican who must confess he is really impressed with Barack Obama. Can he really win in November? Yes, he can. Will he win? It all depends.

I told my wife I will know the moment that I leave the voting booth if Barack Obama has won the election. She asked, "Pray tell, how?"

I said, "If I go into that voting booth and I am able to vote for John McCain, a white man, who I know without a doubt would be a better president for my financial interests despite the fact that a qualified black man is on the ballot, then a working class white person will be able to go into their voting booth and vote for Obama who, without a doubt, would be a better president for them in spite of the fact that he is a black man."
