If you look at today's USA Today they show him looking upward with the outline of his head shining. I know it is not a good description, you have to see it to see what I mean. Even more telling are the pictures of the potential senior administration officials circling his head in comparison to one of Mitch McConnel. The bias is evident for all to see but the ideologically blinded.

Again, I would love to compare the coverage on days 1-3 after the 2004 election with the fawning coverage of this one (at least in the USA Today which was outside my hotel room door every morning waiting for me to kick it aside).

I agree that race was not an issue for white voters and for that I am grateful. The black vote (which comprises 13% of the population but arouind 16% of the vote this year) went overwhelmingly to Obama. That 5% to 10% that have historically voted for the Republican candidate either switched to Obama or did not vote. I have no idea which is correct but the fact is that if 98% of whites only voted for a white candidate only white candidates would be elected.
