54% Say Dems Likely to Nominate White Male
rasmussenreports.com 36 minutes ago
New York Senator Hillary Clinton and Illinois Senator Barack Obama have been one-two in polls for the Democratic Presidential nomination since the campaign season begin. Together, they routinely attract support from more than half of all Likely Democratic Primary Voters. But, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 54% of the nation's voters say it's at least Somewhat Likely that the Democrats will end up nominating a White Male. Twenty-four percent (24%) of all voters say a White Male candidate is Very Likely.
Thirty-four percent (34%) say the Democrats are Not Very Likely or Not at All Likely to nominate a White Male. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.
This month's poll finds voters a bit more likely to believe the nominee could be a White Male. A month ago, just 46% said that outcome was Somewhat or Very Likely. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards is the only White Male candidate earning double digit support in polling for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. He has consistently found himself in third place attracting support in the mid-teens nationally.
Democrats themselves are even more inclined to see the possibility of both frontrunners being passed. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats say a White Male nominee is at least Somewhat Likely. Twenty-two percent (22%) consider it Very Likely.
Younger voters are also quite skeptical about prospects for the frontrunners. Among voters under 30, a startling 43% say it's Very Likely the Democrats will end up nominating a White Male. That figure falls to just 16% for voters over 50.

I have thought that all along.
Shows how many Dems. are paying attention to what is going on. Also, how stupid they are.

Poor Jon Edwards, One out of two ain’t bad.
BUMP
More MSM manufactured polls to keep the Dems in the spotlight.
Well Obama is 50% white, Hillary and Edwards are 50% male, and Kuchinich is 54% the size of a normal white male, so I guess they are in good shape.
So it’s going to be Edwards, huh?
Not very likely.
That's mighty white of them.

Looks like Hillary is getting the nomination.
Looks like this is the lock for Hillary. Too bad. I really thought Edwards could be our first female presidend.
Close, but not quite. I have believed for a long time that after Hillary has her “Dean” moment and it will come, and Obama’s lack of credentials come through publicly, and they will, there will be an alternative. One who can unite a vast Democrat base and sound reasonable to many moderate to liberal Democrats. He is the one Democrat I would not want at the top of the ticket. He comes across as mainstream although he is liberal and he can ignite the Hispanic and minority bases in swing states like Arizona, Missouri, etc. He has White House cabinet credentials as well. Again, I want a republican president. But keep watch on Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

This about this if this idiot's name should appear on a ballot. How, in good conscience, can we trust the security of this Country to a fool that the Army would not trust with a magazine for his rifle?
