If only Obama were white?

Mitt Romney leads Barack Obama 62-27 percent in Oklahoma, according to SoonerPoll. Predictably, some Democrats blame race for that result. The Tulsa World quotes one poll participant saying a “racial factor” drives some opposition to Obama. Another credits money for Republican success in Oklahoma.  Of course! The ram-through passage of ObamaCare, projected tripling of national debt, and an unemployment rate that has been higher for longer than at any time since the Great Depression — voters would think all of that was great if only Obama were white. And if only Democrats weren’t forced to get by on campaign-cash scraps from their impoverished trial lawyer and Hollywood allies. Please. If only the Democratic Party would treat Oklahoma voters with respect, they might do better in elections.
