Age And Race

Garin: "At the end of the day electing the oldest person to be president would be a heavier lift than electing the first African American. There are people who will not vote for Barack Obama because of his race ... For John McCain, when you ask people the first thing that comes to mind ... age is the first thing they say."

Likewise, Garin said, former VA Gov. Mark Warner, a candidate for U.S. Senate, will talk tonight in his DNC keynote address about how the WH choice this year is about the future, not the past.
