JackTen is your main objection to Obama is that hes black? Do you really believe only blacks voted for him? And 97% of a single race would vote for any candidate? Are you getting these statistics from your Aryan Newspaper?
Was Hillary’s Vote 97% woman too? I suppose uppity woman at that?
Lets pray the rest of the country isnt so racist and ignorant as you suggest.
Will McSame get 97% of the vote from elderly white americans?
That was totally uncalled for.
Sorry, I’m not aryan and I have nothing against blacks. I’m providing you with a political analysis based on statistics and census facts. You keep telling us WHY people should vote democrat. I tell you how people vote, not how they should vote. Unless you’re saying CNN is an Aryan source.
I found this in about 3 seconds of searching, North Carolina exit polls :

I was a bit off, only 91% of black people voted for him.
2004 election :

88% of black people voted for John Kerry. GamTrak, there are social factors that affect people’s votes. It’s a well established trend in electoral studies that african-americans vote democrat. I’m not judging whether it’s right or wrong, all I’ve said from the beginning is that Hillary had better odds to win against republicans because she owned the blue collar votes.
Edit: In the late 1800s and the first half of the 20th century, average workers usually voted for leftist parties. In the last decades that trend changed and “average” blue collar workers have started to be more conservative and vote center-right. This is the segment of the political pie that’s been eluding democrats in the last decade. If you notice from the stats above, Hillary had much better results in the 65+ segment of the population, which is traditionally more conservative. Those numbers (54-41 for Hillary) was in North Carolina (which voted for Obama) in the DEMOCRAT primary, so imagine what those numbers will be at the general election.
