The Wall Street Journal - a haven for neo-conservatives:
For those voters, especially ones without college degrees, the fact that Sen. Obama is black may not be as much a disqualifier as his background as a Democrat from the Frost Belt with no national security or executive experience and a voting record judged by the nonpartisan National Journal as the Senate’s most liberal during 2007
And perhaps the most damning of all:

While these attitudes are linked to partisanship and ideology, there also are clear generational and educational differences. Younger and more educated white voters hold significantly more racially liberal beliefs than do older whites and those with less education.
On interracial dating, equal rights, and racial and ethnic diversity, younger white voters consistently hold more liberal views than white voters over 50. The same is true of voters who have attended college; more than three-quarters (77%) of whom believe that increasing ethnic variety is good for the country. By contrast, 61% of those who have not attended college hold the same view.
Canseco, I love ya, bud, but the truth is Democrats are more well-educated than Republicans.

lol...you can come up with all the fucking polls you want, dude. Inner cities are basically 100% democratic and government dependent. They do a few things...always vote democratic, hardly ever finish school, are responsible for virtually all crime nationwide and infest the prison system as well as the streets of all major cities with gangs. Go to any major shithole city in this country where's there's rampant drug use, gangs are out of control and the crime rate is higher than Amy Winehouse on a Saturday night and you can bet your ass that it's a staunchly democratic area. You'll never see Republican areas like this...ever. Dude, work your way out of your utopic fantasy land and go to the streets of Chicago, Philly, New York, LA, Detroit, or DC and you'll see some neighborhoods that make Fallujah seem like a nice place to live. And yup, you guessed it...they're democratic strongholds. Have you no pride? How can you affiliate yourself with the very maggots that have crippled this country's infrastructure by government dependence, a general refusal to work, being led by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other race hustlers, and have flooded our biggest cities with gangs and drugs. Seriously, bow your head in shame, slap yourself and go stand in the fucking corner...right now.![]()

Historically-speaking, I don't think you are giving LBJ enough credit here for 'being his own man'. While he certainly was a New Deal politician (from Texas, which was much more liberal then), he was arguably more committed to civil rights than JFK was. At first, JFK had been politically cautious when considering equal rights for blacks. When LBJ took over after the assassination, he wasted very little time in pushing through the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some of LBJ's Great Society programs were built on groundwork done by JFK. While I do believe that JFK would have done more had he been given the time and the support of Republican-controlled Congress, I believe that LBJ deserves to be given credit for being so progressive on issues such as clean air, education, equal employment, etc. Of course, his mistakes regarding Vietnam will forever tarnish his presidential legacy, which is really too bad. This is similar to Truman, whose legacy was tarnished by his decision to use the Atomic bomb.

HOLY SHIT are you wrong here. LBJ wanted civil rights to happen about as much as the Grand Dragon of the KKK. It was the REPUBLICANS that made the historic civil rights acts happen...LBJ only signed because he had no choice as they would have overridden a veto.
The great society did nothing but gut our inner cities and kill off encentive for people to do for themselves, it REALLY created the welfare state as we have it now, and turned our african-american communities into slums for a large part.
Yeah THANKS LBJ!
