what else could it be but those jug-ears?!?

"I was in Union, Mo., which is 98 percent white, a rural conservative, and what I said was what I think everyone knows, which is that I don’t look like I came out of central casting when it comes to presidential candidates,” [Obama] told The St. Petersburg Times. “There was nobody there who thought at all that I was trying to inject race in this."

They’re going to try to say that I’m a risky guy. They’re going to try to say, well, you know, he’s got a funny name. And he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills.

[Campaign manager David] Axelrod told “GMA” it meant, “He’s not from central casting when it comes to candidates for president of the United States. He’s new to Washington. Yes, he’s African-American.”

"Let me be clear, in no way do I think John McCain’s campaign was being racist,’’ Obama said. “I think they’re cynical. I think they are trying to distract people from the real issues. It’s of a piece with the Britney and Paris ad.... Their team is good at distractions and planting negative’’ points. “I am absolutely confident that the people in Union, Mo., or Jacksonville, Florida, or any other town in the country, at the end of the day are going to be making the decision based on what is best for their lives.’’

Aw sheesh.  Everybody update your Codeword Notebooks.  Again.
