Sorry if this was already posted. I did a thorough search and didn't find it.
The MSM has been having a rough time with this . There is racism at play and it is all within the democrat party . The MSM can not possibly cover these stories objectively .
We know why so many did in 2000. They wanted Gore to win and therefor they voted for McCain in the belief that he was a lot easier for Gore to defeat. Gore had the nomination sewed up before there was a caucus or primary. In 2000 there was zero doubt that Gore would clobber Bill Bradley in the primaries and he did.
But this year we have real contests in both parties. Why would an independent who was planning to vote for the Democrat in the fall election vote in the Republican primaries? Independents has ranged between 20 and 30 percent of Republican primary voters.
If Independents are for Hillary why not vote for her when she really needs their votes. And if Independents are for Obama why not vote for him when he really needs their votes.
Could it be that independents don't care who wins the Democratic nomination? How could that be?
Could a big chunk of Indpendents have decided they can't vote for Hillary or Obama in the general election?
What would that mean? It most likely means they are either not going to vote or they are going to vote for the Republican nominee and are trying to get the most leftist Republican nominee they can.
Those that think the fall election looks good for either Hilary or Obama, need to explain why no one talks about Independents voting in the very contested Democratic primaries.
Yes. Older people went through school before the brainwashing. Younger people have been brainwashed to think it's "cool" to vote for a black guy, whether he's qualified or not.
Obama gets the Prius vote.
The main reason people drive a Prius is so they can make a statement and project a certain image. Hey! I drive a Prius! I care about the environment. I’m progressive.
Those are the Obama voters. See? I voted for the black guy. Look how progressive and politically correct I am.
99 percent of these voters probably haven’t done any research and have absolutely no idea what they are really voting for, other than change.
There are lots of groups of people who will not vote for a Black president, but I don’t see older people as necessarily falling into that demographic. Hispanics will not vote Black (one even stood up at during the Lutz focus group and declared this), many Koreans and other Asian groups, who have suffered in Black neighborhoods, won’t vote for a Black man either.
The reasons that Obama is not doing well with older voters is probably because many older voters are better informed and not basing their votes on such superficial attributes as race.
Has nothing to do with race. Older Black men on TV have said the same thing: they don’t think Obama is experienced enough for the job. The MSM.... Now I see why other nations nationalize their mass media. These idiots purposely stir the pot and try to foment tension and division.
Maybe Obama isn’t doing well with older voters because people don’t want some twirp younger than their child as President. The thing I don’t understand is why Dems constantly try to get the youth vote, when the youth don’t. Old people are the ones to get.
No, it's WISDOM. Old people know that if elect a guy for President, who three years ago was a lackluster State Senator who was either absent or voted "present" for the majority of votes, than America will be sunk.
