[Politics] No-prize pool call
I'm taking no-money bets as of now on who, when, and where the first right-wing commentator on cable or broadcast TV or printed in mainstream newspapers (the bloggers are likely already getting to this one, so they don't count) will slip and use a recognizable racial slur against Barack Obama instead of the code they've been using so far (i.e., arrogant for uppity). John McCain ads count, as the latest is using the fear of a black dick every upright white American male is supposed to possess as a campaign point without coming out and saying, "He's gonna rape all our womenfolk."
