From Bob Herbert:
"From the time that Barack Obama announced that he would run for president, the thought that he might be assassinated because of his race has been widespread.
"A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 6 in 10 Americans said that they worried that someone would try to harm Senator Obama if he became the Democratic nominee. More than 8 in 10 African-Americans expressed fear for his safety.
"I've spoken with a number of black voters who wondered whether they might not be doing Mr. Obama harm by casting a ballot for him. Said one woman: 'I fear for him, the closer he gets to his goal.'"
