CNN’s Jack Cafferty, the guy who reads emails and bitches all day long, has only one explanation for Senator Obama’s recent slide in the polls. Was it his widely panned trip to Europe? Was it his disconnect with voters over their guns and religion? Was it the game changing pick of Sarah Palin exciting the right? Nope, the only conceivable explanation is racism.

The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn’t be more well-defined. Obama wants to change Washington. McCain is a part of Washington and a part of the Bush legacy. Yet the polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense…unless it’s race.

That’s right, McCain hasn’t offered one reason for voters to support him and Sarah Palin hasn’t excited anyone in the nation in recent weeks, that couldn’t possibly be the explanation. Obama is so CLEARLY the correct option for Cafferty that the only reason American’s don’t see it is because of their blind hatred of Obama’s half black origins. Luckily Cafferty helps prove his point by pointing to the Obama loving and Time Warner Owned Time magazine which contains an article that also contains racial accusations by CNN contributer David Gergen.

I don’t doubt racism exists but I cannot imagine, in even my wildest dreams, that it suddenly showed up in the same polls which have had Obama up for all these months. The fact that Cafferty and a growing percentage of the MSM cannot accept the fact that there are Americans who are starting to actually want to vote for McCain is further proof that something major is wrong with the media.
