Disown my "Whitey thread" because it wasn't the whitey tape.

That seemed like a pretty reasonable speech on the whole.

It was a reasonable speech, so the only people who think this will make a difference are people who aren't going to vote for Obama anyway...

If he loses those states, it won't be solely because of that speech.

It doesn't. Tomorrow's the debate. I think this was literally the worst time to release this thing. An even reasonable victory for Obama tomorrow and this thing never happened (its potency is also affected by the fact that it doesn't actually anything that's a problem at all).

The video will hurt Obama, but the race is still winnable:

1988-style Romney win. Obama will still go down in history as the first black President, but it's over. There's really no recovering from a scandal of this magnitude. Sad

Like the Ryan pick, the GOP convention and soon the debates, it will have no effect at all.

Not much of an effect. Tomorrow will have a much bigger impact than anything else. If Romney wants to pull ahead, and consistently, of Obama, he needs to win it clearly. That tape really doesn't tell us anything we don't already know about Obama.

Ohio is, at this point in the race this late, is nearly impossible to win for Romney. This video will have EXACTLY no effect whatsoever on the race.

He'll now lose the white male vote by 30 points, which means he's actually higher in the polls now.

The fact that some people on the right thinks this tape is controversial says a lot about how disconnected they are with reality.

I don't see it having any impact whatsoever, other than to make Drugde, Hannity, etc. look like the race-baiting fools they are. Newsflash: All of the racists in the country are already firmly in the GOP-camp. Nothing more to gain there.

It's a 'dog whistle.' It's about getting the base out to vote.

Which is a pretty awful indictment of the Romney Campaign if they're still worried about their base turning out...

You mean the racist video of the inner city black woman talking about the phones, right?  If so, Ohio for sure is gone, VA and FL are likely gone.

The racist campaign will have several foci apparently, but the end result will be the same.  To be honest I think they would have been well advised to rely on Obama-phone Lady alone, as I think the stupified voter block is best kept focused on only one thing at a time.

Just checking the Huffington post map - nothing's changed, butif you open the Ohio, Florida, and Virgina polls by clicking on those states, you'll see that in all three cases Obama while still ahead is off his highs and trending downward, while Romney's is trending upwards.  By election day the racist vote will put him over the top:
