How important is race in this presidential election?
Q. How important do you think race is compared to the state of the economy? Does race affect your choice over the other key issues in this presidential election?
Asked by Yazz23 - Wed Oct 29 22:43:10 2008 - - 12 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Not very important...not as important to me, that is. There are lots of people who have expressed their opinions about the race of the candidates, but I'm more concerned about whether I'll have a job, income, a place to live and food to eat...stuff like that.

What does it mean when they call the Presidential election a "horserace"?
Q. I've heard the U.S. Presidential election referred to as a horse-race by many, including Ralph Nader. Does this mean that people are simply betting on who they think will win (like when we bet on horses) or does "horse-race" mean a situation where there are only 2 contenders, really?
Asked by just4practise - Thu Feb 5 15:18:50 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is an analogy referring to the way polls go back and forth as the lead changes running up to election day. The horse race is a metaphor for the two candidates competing to get ahead of the other.
