2008 Presidential election about race?
Maybe rdean has a point about the presidential election being about
race. It appears that if it weren't for white racism Obama's victory might have been much larger: http://www.pollster.com/blogs/white_..._in_the_st.php -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Obama didn't win because of his race he won despite it. Look at the bottom right (how appropriate) of that graph. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina all racist redneck states. Now the upper left (also appropriate ;-), not a lot of blacks voting for their race in Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. I don't know how the Obama campaign identified those voters who were both capable of "swinging" their state and who were going to cast their vote for Obama primarily because he's black. But for the sake of argument let's assume the Obama campaign was able to pull off that miracle. Only two miracles to go. ;-) Now you've go to get them to the polls, in big numbers because there's not a lot of them (it could be as few as one voter ;-), so how do you do that ? Herd them, or him, up and drive him to the polls, threaten them with violence, pay them, what ? So, OK however they got to the polls we'll give rdean Miracle #2. Nobody but rdean and the double secret analyzers of data on the home planet know about any of this. No mainstream press, no bloggers, no pundits, not even Faux News ! Just rdean and the fellows of the foil. Sorry, that's one miracle too many. -- Ken Fortenberry |

What is shows is simply this: The higher the percentage of the African American vote in a state, the lower the percentage of the white vote went for Obama, and dramatically so. The sharply dipping tail of the curve represents South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. You can interpret this any way you want, but I interpret it as meaning that there is still strong racism in the South. (BTW, the African American vote was never greater than about 30%, and surely it would have gone overwhelmingly for any Democrat over any Republican, even if the nominee's race were not a factor.) -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Just looking at the data, it looks like there's no correlation in 46 of the states. The four states that are outliers are all geographically located and in a historically conservative region. Probably still a lot of racism too. - Ken |

So take your racist bull**** and shove it where the sun don't shine, moron. Give it a rest with the racist crap. 88% is less than 96% and the turnout was signficantly higher in 2008 among african-americans. Obama got approx 3.5M more african-american votes than Kerry. In contrast: In 2008, McCain received roughly 1/3 the african-american votes than Bush received in 2004 (approx 0.6M african-american votes). If african- americans had turned out for Kerry half as much as they did for Obama, Kerry would have been president these last 4 years. - Ken |

Yeah, "Fortenberry". I can think of no more insulting description. Go ahead and post. You'll get the last word, but I won't pay any attention to it. You're obviously not worth the bandwidth.
