Found 11 hours, 53 minutes, and 8 seconds ago on politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com Hillary Clinton takes a picture with supporters in Indiana. (CNN) -- Just how badly is the Democratic Party divided? According to the exit polls, half of Clinton's supporters in Indiana would not vote for Obama in a general election match up with John McCain. ... Schneider: The troubling racial divide continues Posted: 07:42 PM ET A man votes in Wilmington, North Carolina. (CNN) – It’s the mirror image of Barack Obama’s white working class voter problem – Hillary Clinton’s continuing troubles with black Democrats. Obama pulled in 78 percent of the black vote in South Carolina’s January contest, 84 percent in Missouri’s February vote, 87 percent in Ohio’s March 4 primary and 90 percent in Pennsylvania last month. Tuesday night, he pulled in 91 percent of North Carolina’s black primary voters, and 92 percent of Indiana’s, according to early exit polls – numbers that would pose a major challenge for any Democratic White House hopeful. Schneider: White working-class voters stick with Clinton Posted: 07:29 PM ET Voters cast their ballots in Indianapolis. (CNN) — Barack Obama’s troubles with white working class voters continue to cost him dearly at the polls: Hillary Clinton captured the votes of two-thirds of Indiana voters who lack a college degree; the two split the white college-educated vote. Clinton’s push for the gun vote seems to have paid off: half the state’s Democratic primary voters are gun owners, according to early exit polls, they supported Clinton over Obama, 61 to 39 percent.
Poster Comment: Funny stuff. The Party wing of political correctness and multiculturalism is splid open like a ripe melon along racial lines.

Their diversity is their strength. Hah.
What's going to be even funnier is when all the white geezers either sit it out or vote for McPain. Then, a few months after he takes the oath of office (if he's still breathing), many of these near-destitute, hyperinflation-destroyed "seniors" will be faced with researching dog and cat food brands for low-cost, edible alternatives to the unaffordable "human food" groceries they used to buy. Meanwhile, McPain will encourage them to make the "ultimate sacrifice" to "support the troops" as Soylent Green.

There are at least 3 variables that should be considered: - the election is not set for tomorrow This looks a lot like grasping at straws. I watched Larry Davis on CNN last night and he was so funny, in a pathetic way, trying to spin reality for Hillary. By the way, JT, you posted yesterday, from some 'source' that Obama got only 7% of the White vote. Do you now agree that what you posted was FUD? I'm not saying that it was your FUD but you did channel someone else's. Yes?

Maybe that's because they're half-white ?????

I agree. Certainly there are a lot of D & R whites that won't vote for Obama because he's black, but there are a lot of R's that will never vote for Hillary either, and a lot of R's and D's that would never vote for Cain. All 3 candidates have substantial voting blocs that would never vote for them. Yes, if Cain were not the R nominee, Obama would have a lot more to worry about.
This
was the point MSNBC was making. I don't know how else to do the math; 9 out of
10 black Ds voted for Obama. The problem for Obama is threefold, as I see
it: - guns (again) - the feminist subset of the socialist Party -
White backlash related to the slavery guilt industry.
The flavor du jour.
I honestly haven't a clue what to expect this November. I think Hillary would have walked all over McKooK, and I'd not be surprised if her operatives worked actively behind the scenes to ensure an Obama defeat, leaving the door open for '12. -OR- She could offer O a deal he can't refuse. She and her team up w/him as VP, and her promising to be a one term president. He'd then assume the throne in '12.
This was the point MSNBC was making. I don't know how else to do the math; 9 out of 10 black Ds voted for Obama. OMG!!! :))) It's not that 91% of all Obama's vote was Black. What they say is that 92% of Blacks voted for Obama. But Blacks only make up 1/3 of NC's Demos. This translates in Obama's Black vote being 91% of the 33% (who are Black). It's 0.91 * 0.33 * 100 = 30% Since Obama got 56% of the total vote, the remaining 26% was from non-Blacks. The percentage of Whites voting for Obama is calculating like so: 67% (of White voters in NC) * P (the percentage of them that voted for Obama) = 26% (the White or non-Black share of Obama's votes) 67 * P = 26 39% of non-Blacks in NC voted for Obama I hope that this clarifies it. I think I'll make this the daily math challenge for my 5th and 5th graders tonite.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Apparently, there is some data to show that party members tend to bitch and moan BEFORE the election, then 'come home'. Last night commentators say that that's what happened to W in 2000 and McCain seems to be already bringing home his party.

You're under arrest for racial insensitivity.
To this extent? I've never it to this degree before.
Hope springs eternal for the 'phobes. ;-) Look for Hillary to form a third party.

Why should she when 49% of the Ds are standing with her? Obama, like Vince Foster, poses a problem.
Caution JT, don't lose that sense of humor of yours.

To this extent? I've never it to this degree before. The election is more than half a year away. A lot could happen between then and now. I believe that all 'the right' was bashing McCain only a short month or 2 ago. Are they still doing it?

No, the Rs have forgotten all about how evil he is. The diff. is the racial component with the Ds.
That the socialists are split along gender and racial lines is the definition of high comedy :P
They bashed Bush in 1999, by the summer of 2000, it was all hugs and kisses from establishment "conservatives." The tide is already turning with those who used to grumble about Mad Mac's lack of "conservative" credentials. Yesterday they were comparing him to LBJ, today he's Reagan.
The Establishment had to have banked on the impact a racist Marxist black man would have, which is why they set him up and put BHO forth at the 2004 RAT Convention...
Don't let the Ophiles deceive you, they're North American Soviet Unioners through and through no matter what Olying lip service they give you otherwise...
Analyze this. Total Republican turnout ........ 422,551 Obama vote ........................ 623,290 Keep your powder dry and begin posting your "Trespassing Niggers Will Be Shot" signs.

Red State Update: Older & Madder Than McCain
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. What would you know about Communists? You are in full blown suck mode for a flat out Marxist...
The Republican party has clearly shown over the last eight years that they are much closer to being Nazis than the Democrat party has ever gotten to Socialism/Communism, yet this 3/4 century slur persists while the plutocrats get a free pass. Bewildering? Not in my opinion ... it simply illustrates the level of debate that the those of the die-hard GOP stripe are capable of.

I've known for years that both wings of the bird are evil, hence my votes for Perot in '96 and Buchanan (Reform Party) in '00. I haven't voted since. Now, my woefully ignorant friend, The D controlled House and Senate could defund this war Monday morning. They've had this capability since they ceased power on '06. They haven't because they like war every bit as much as the Rs. Comprendo?
Defunding troops in the field is the extreme flank of both the idiots opposing and supporting Obama. Politicians of any stripe are not real big on committing political Hari Kari.

If Clinton were the Dem nominee, the black voters might grumble, but they'd vote for her in the end because the Dems sign off on more welfare checks (McCain likes welfare and affirmative action too, but most people don't know that). The same isn't true of the conservative "Reagan Democrats" who were conned into voting for Hillary - they either won't vote, or they'll go for Old Nutcase. They wouldn't vote for Obama, because Obama is on the outside exactly what Hillary pretends not to be while campaigning.
********* Flack. What does President Black do when Representative Lisp tosses this bill in his lap?
Bingo!
Ping to #36
Flack??? Bills are tossed into the Congressional hopper, not the the President's lap, as you probably know ... or knew before you lost your mind over the prospect of a black President.

They're all controlled, belching World Orderist NeoCommie/NeoCon liars...maybe 5% of the critters would be worth keeping. Throw the rest back.

- the Hillary supporters are currently the losers and therefore bitter
- the way the question was asked (other 'polls' showed that over 70% of Hillary's voters were happy with Obama as the demo guy)
