Republicans' Alamo: The Race Thing
I expect the desperate Republicans to attack Obama's crime of being black in a last-ditch attempt to salvage what is right now looking like surefire defeat in November. They will tie the economic crisis (lending to minorities), affirmative action, and resurrect Reverend Wright to create a hail mary dirty bomb to cripple the surging Obama candidacy. There is absolutely nothing else left in their arsenal. Watch out for the race-baiting to boil to the surface.

2. Yes, the story of the financial crisis is slowly being revised to blame on blacks and Latinos
That's the impression I'm getting from Talk radio.
