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.

hahahaha, that’s good.

But I think this poll just shows that many southern democrats and regular white dims may be having second thoughts about hillary and obama, and might just want to improve their chances with a bill clinton-type of candidate.

It kinda reminds me of those polls where 2-3% of people when asked if they’re are a racist say “yes”, then when asked if they know a nieghbor or a friend who’s racist the number jumps up 30 or 40 percentage points. Maybe these are democrats who consciously think running Edwards would be better.

Then again maybe it doesn’t mean anything...

CORRECTION.

ThisTHINK about this if this idiot's name should appear on a ballot.

Well, Obama is half white.

Although, in the period from high school in Hawaii, to Columbia University and then to the streets of Chicago as a community organizer, Obama is the classic angry young black man, describing his world thusly:

"We were always playing on the white man's court -- by the white man's rules.  If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't.  The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage."

Obama’s once described the white race as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”

“That hate hadn't gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other "half-breeds" who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks.  And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. 

Obama once  described his grandparents, the people who raised him, as "white folk."

That’s easy. Hillary will simply announce that she really is a male, and has been for quite a while now.

Well then that would make Vince Foster GAY. Calling Senator Craig. Tap, tap, tap.

What a picture! Can anyone imagine this lunatic ‘trying’ to run the country? - let alone actually doing it.

[Soul Seeker]

Wouldn’t shock me.

Dems are only supporting Hillary because of Bill.

I would be mildly shocked if the bigoted white liberal vote, and it’s out there, elected Obama their nominee.

Edwards is effeminate but he is the closest to the type of nominee they prefer...when they aren’t digging Mass politicians up.

Obama gets a lot of support from young people and the Holywood crowd stoked by his image but outside of that when it comes down to getting serious about a nominee I wouldn’t be surprised if its Edwards that gives Hill a run. If someone does.

Racist Democrats????

I think that (Al Gore) was the hidden bottom line of this whole article...

And the answer is:

Michael Jackson reveals his bleach recipe and gives it to Obama.

Never happened. The beast wins the primary fights on organization.
