Race and the election

October 13, 2008 By WRN Contributor

Political scientists are generally saying race will probably play a role in next month's presidential election, but many disagree over how large the impact will be.

Governor Jim Doyle, who heads Barack Obama's campaign in Wisconsin, expects to be somewhat of a factor in Wisconsin. However, he questions if the people who wouldn't vote for a black man would even vote would even vote for a Democrat in the first place.

Doyle says, for young people, Obama's race is just "totally not an issue."
