Black President + lots of angry rural whites = no contest, Obama.

Race baiting at its finest

Here's what I actually said:

"It wasn't meant to tell you about the Gubernatorial race. Well, other than combating the hackery that has run wild in that thread about how Obama and Brownback are basically disliked with the same intensity."

Let's focus on the last few words there: "basically disliked with the same intensity." That means some people were suggesting that the level of dislike for both was pretty close to even. 

Don't misquote me and expect to get away with it.

Now let's look at a comment from the poster known as IceSpear: "Agreed. I'd actually anticipate it being somewhat close, probably with a small lead for Obama. But unfortunately for Brownback, Obama isn't on the ballot and he is."

The bolded text suggests that you believe the level of distaste for both might not be equal but would be pretty close to even. And almost no one here agrees with you. Again, get over it.

Except this poll isn't asking whether or not it would be close, it's simply asking who would be more disliked, which virtually everyone (including myself in that very thread) said would be Obama. Nice try.

Besides, "close" is a relative term. For example, Santorum losing by 18 points in a state like PA is a complete thrashing and landslide. Now, if Santorum lost by only 18 points in a state like Vermont, that would be "relatively close" considering the circumstances. I even elaborated later that I meant close in a relative sense, which you chose to ignore.

Most likely President Obama is disliked more.

Of course GOP leadership and such 'intellectual' leaders of right-wing America like Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Savage, etc. wouldn't stoop so low as to dredge up old ethnic resentments?

But the comments here have laughed off the idea that it would be close. Your red avatar brethren have even said the hatred for Obama is more intense. I think I found who is being purposely obtuse here...
