Go and vote for the smartest person

In a recent letter to the editor headlined “Political Pandering is Defying Logic” (The World, June 8), the author stated a few truisms while postulating that if you are black and vote for Obama because he is black, it is racist. In the real world, as we all know, a racist, no matter what color, would indeed be more likely to vote for the candidate with like complexion. But most folks aren’t racist or sexist by nature. People vote for many reasons.
