Race is an issue...full stop. I don't have the slightest doubt it is as can be seen here and across the US. Obama receiving 90% of the black vote can only be explained because he is black. Hard to say what proportion of the 63% of whites did not vote for him but certainly many did not because he is black. We do know many white women voted for Hillary because she is a woman.
I have never argued race will not be a factor in the results because to do so would ingnore the fact many will vote against Obama no matter the alternative because he is half "black". I don't know how anyone who who votes for or against someone because of color can argue they are not racist. Racism is alive and well in the world and will remain so even if Obama should end up with the Presidency.
