KING: How much of it is race?
MAHER: That's a big factor, much bigger than people think, I believe.
KING: Sad.
MAHER: I think the poll I read recently was 30 percent of white Americans have a positive view of Barack Obama. You know, even if he gets every black person in America to vote for him -- and he will, by the way -- I don't know if -- that's just going to cancel out the people who wouldn't vote for him just because of that one reason.
And of course, the Republican campaign is all about making him different. He's not like us. He's from some weird place like, I don't know, Morocco or something. He doesn't always wear a flag pin, and he's got a lippy wife, and his pastor wears an African shirt. You know, this stuff is scary, Larry.
