Race is a pretty flimsy construct no matter how you look at it, Strike. If some people are voting for Obama because they think he's black, I'm sure they will be counter-balanced by people who vote against him 'cause they think he's black.
As for the evil sneakiness of Obama claiming to be black, I'll just say that by the standards of usage in the USA, it's not unfair for him to call himself black. Well within the norms of language and custom.
