USA, is there any hope?

I'm watching CNN. I realize I am a measly Canadian, but were I an American right now, I would hang my head in shame at the way this election is being analysed by the "pundints."

Until YOU Americans stop analyzing by race nothing is going to change! Until YOU Americans, tell your news outlets, (read CNN,) to stop talking about how "interesting" the colour vote split is how can you possibly hope to actually invoke a real change?

I am saddened and dismayed by this type of reporting. Am I shocked? Nope. Do I not think that race/religion/guns/gender effect voting... of course, but to promote the carrying of a State by simple race numbers is asking for trouble and demeaning to the Candidates.

I know! I was thinking the very same thing last night. Why oh why does the media have to keep over analyzing everything and especially the race cards. I was just amazed at how they combed through every detail and every statistic.
