"And of course, the central issue is

A central issue is race, not _the_ central issue. And Obama is ignoring it. He is on the side of people who want to ignore it He's on the side of the people who don't see how it connects up with U.S. imperialism as his good preacher Rev. Wright does.
As for the rest. The electoral "struggle" is to the class struggle as the literature of chivalry is to a good fuck. Sorry for the vulgarity.... But you get my point.
Ignoring the election would be good for mental health in general not to say intelligence.
