I think it does the total opposite it highlights the race/colour issue. And why just one day before the polls.

Nothing surprises me anymore with this election. I wonder how much money has been spent on the whole circus.

I feel sorry for Obama though, having to cope with the death of his grandmother on the eve of the election. No doubt some will say if he wins that he gained sympathy votes. I have a feeling he might just win in the end.;)
