In looking for news about propositions against affirmative action in Nebraska and Colorado--Nebraska passed, Colorado too close to call--I came across this Politico.com story from Monday on how race-based preferences would fare in the next administration. Interestingly enough, both Ward Connerly and Linda Chavez--opponents of affirmative action and McCain supporters--believe Obama is likely to end race-based preferences; while Goodwin Liu, a proponent of racial preferences, believes Obama will actually improve them.

They can't both be right, can they?
