It is extremely ignorant to vote for someone based on an aspect of the person that they cannot change and had absolutely nothing to do with. Such as their age, race, sex, and so on. The fact that 90% of the black vote are voting for Obama in the primaries is a sad realization that many people do not actually look at the issues, and likely do not even care about the issues, when they cast their vote.

Is that honestly where our country is headed? I don’t believe so. Maybe an ignorant minority want to vote based on factors such as race, but I have no doubt that the majority of Americans will show us all what really matters and how votes should actually be cast come this November.
