McCain's prospective communications advisor Ron Fournier, who has done more for McCain as AP chief than he ever would have as part of his campaign, is trying out the race card for size now that McCain is sinking in the polls.
Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

Classis race-baiting. What a piece of shit John McCain is because I hold him responsible for this race-bating, at least until he condemns it and others like it. Ron is obviously a Republican considering he was speaking in depth with McCain's advisers about being "senior" communications adviser in 2007 and particularly considering he is doing McCain's dirty work for him here.
Too bad that the new CBS/NYTimes poll shows a 21 point shift of white women towards Obama, thereby discrediting this racist trash named Fournier:
Obama's advantage can be traced in part to independents, who favored Obama in late August, swung to McCain just after the Republican convention, and have now returned to Obama. Obama now leads McCain among independents 46 percent to 41 percent.
Obama now also leads McCain among women, a group that favored McCain by five points in polling taken just after the Republican convention, where Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became the second woman ever to be nominated to a major party ticket.
Obama leads McCain 54 percent to 38 percent among all women. He holds a two point edge among white women, a 21 percentage point swing in Obama's direction from one week ago.

Ron Fournier is a piece of shit and the Associated Press is a shit organization. The AP can come out with pieces critical of McCain all they want but for them to be doing McCain's most sleazy work for him is beyond the pale.
