Race played less of a role in the election than age, exit polls showed.

While Obama is projected to be the nation's first black president, John McCain would have been the oldest person ever elected to the nation's highest office.

Twice as many of those polled Tuesday said age was an important factor in their vote as those who said race was.

Among those factoring age into their vote, 78 percent went for Obama to 21 percent for McCain, exit polls showed.

Those who said race was an important factor voted 55 percent to 44 percent in favor of Obama. But Obama also was the winner by a similar margin among those who said race was not important, "which suggests that race was not a decisive factor in this election," Schneider said.

2/3 of those who claimed that race mattered voted FOR Obama
2/3 of those who claimed that race did NOT matter ALSO voted FOR Obama

Sure, some people voted racially consciously (not necessarily out of THEIR racism though) but not many, as I said.

How do you know that, if race wasn't a factor, they would've changed their decision?

And it seems that so many people went there that it crashed.

It came BACK online, but there are A LOT of new members.

Maybe this election CREATED something...
