First off, what does Obama find "divisive" here (his words)?

"The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting."


Second off, this is about racial preferences not affirmitive action. Most of us who've had to live with this our entire working lives know the difference between ensuring representitive candidate pools and discriminating to affect an outcome.

Third off, nothing is banned here. It refers to the state, not private entities.

So does McCain back a measure that bans affirmative action? Sounds to me like he doesn't want the state giving preferential treatment to anyone based on the criteria spelled out.

Desparate liberal trolling at it's finest.
