Sociologists call it "tribal voting"...you vote for the person that you feel is most "like" you...
I don't see it as racist, since being racist is...
1. the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others
2. abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief
I think most voted for Obama because he was the "new, cool, candidate" and his opponent was McCain.
I think there were more "ignorant" votes than what some are calling "racist" votes.
