Are you a loony ? ;-) I've read a lot of election postmortems, this weeks New Yorker is devoted almost exclusively to them. There is universal agreement that the economy was the most significant factor in this presidential election. Nowhere did I read that the black 13% of the electorate voted for Obama because they are black racists or that Obama ran a deliberately racist campaign targeting black racist "swing voters" in selective ares. Apparently these longtime political analysts didn't get the memo from Planet Grand Dragon. Were they using the wrong brand of tinfoil perhaps ? ;-) Obama did focus his campaign on the UFG voters (Up For Grabs). When Democratic pollsters did their internal polls right after the Dem Convention they found Obama ahead 49-42 in likely decided voters but running way behind McCain in the UFG voters, so far behind that if the election were held right then Obama would have lost. Obama convinced the UFGs that he was the better candidate on the economy, with a lot of help from McCain and the September credit crisis, and that, my friends, is why we have president-elect Obama. -- Ken Fortenberry |

You need to stick being an unemployed computer weenie. You are either completely devoid of knowledge about that of which you speak, or, intentionally misrepresenting things. This has nothing whatsoever to do with any alleged "black racism" or _any_ racism. It's simply what the data "clearly shows"...and who else might talk about what the data "clearly.shows"...? If anyone interested in this happened to see "This Week" this morning (Sunday, 10-16-08), you may (or may not) have caught a comment by that noted "racist" and ultra-conservative Sam Donaldson, in the "Round Table" along with other rabid "racist" and ultra-conservative and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who said that Obama would be beholden to "dance with the ones that brung him" - "minorities" - and "that the data was clear." He went unchallenged by all, who proceeded to comment upon what Obama might have to do. No, I don't suggest this is proof positive, but I would say that this is an indication that the data exists and that it isn't "uncommon knowledge" among those with access to it. And anyone who wishes can go to the ABC News website and see the video of this morning's show. It's about 1/3 of the way into the "Round Table" segment. HTH, R |

I saw that show, four talking heads and a dimbulb gasbag. Guess which of the five people at that roundtable is the gasbag. Mostly they laugh at Donaldson because he's an idiot, they couldn't ever correct every asinine thing that blurted out of his mouth even if they wanted to. If the data is clear, let's see it. There is no data, there is no proof, You've already been given some of it, and been told where the rest can be found. If you mean the various private compiled, detailed breakdowns, including ad buys, etc., and/or analyses of it, sure - get out your checkbook - I figure about 50 grand US ought to get you a pretty good start. there is nothing other than your own dark, twisted fear and loathing. And the invisible beams from Planet Grand Dragon. LOL !! |

You just may be right Fred No, I'm not saying he's a racist, and I'm not saying he's not a racist. I'm just saying he likes to use the n-word. So does Chris Rock. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
