One day, certainly. But it's probably not going to happen in this century.

Remember during a McCain meeting :

A woman in the public : I've heard Obama is a Muslim, that scares me a lot.
McCain : No, he's not a Muslim. He is a good person.

That's not the exact words, since it's a traduction of what I remember having heard in french, but the sense was that.

Although, you've gotta give McCain kudos for trying to quash all the Muslim/Arab/Kenya rumours.

I do. Indeed, I consider this mostly a pavlovian lapsus than real racism. The problem is that too many people would reac as McCain did ( if not worse ).
