He should have gone with a more to the right veep choice.
And I would venture to say that there is no rascim in America on the macro level. Of course you will find cases in the micro, but overall America is a good place that takes legal immigrants from all countries with open arms. And why having a black man on the top of the Dem ticket doesn't prove to people once and for all that racism is dead in America, i don't know what will.
So if Obama loses.... it's because of racism?
I don't think so.
If Obama loses it will be because the majority of America doesn't share his values.
If a martian from mars shared my values, I would be happy to support the martian.

Well... I have to say that church drama really, really fucked up Obama's entire campaign. And didn't it have something to do with racism? That and the fact that his father was not American, really does not make him look like the USA poster boy at all.
I don't think he will lose because he is part black, I think he will lose because he does not represent this country and just isn't "American" enough with these things hanging over him in the public eye now.
He'd be better off with a drunk car salesman step father like Bill Clinton than an African father that didn't really raise him. Its all perception of middle America, and the opinions are mostly formed by the media.
Most people have no idea what Obama has done, or what he is planning to do. Its all about how good he and his family look in front of the Christmas tree in the White House, and how hard we laugh at his bloopers.
