North Carolina voting breakdown:
It seems that the risk of Democrat voters coming to their senses has passed. As shown above via CNN, in last night's North Carolina Democratic primary, Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton by more than 13 to 1 among black voters, and Clinton beat Obama by nearly 2 to 1 among white voters. In other words, instead of unifying the races in North Carolina, Obama is polarizing and alienating them, and trading on that division to win the nomination. Black turnout surged and carried Obama to victory by a wide margin. In North Carolina's Forsyth County, for instance, ten times more absentee ballots were received than in a normal election and more than half of them were from black voters. The Winston-Salem Journal reports: "Nearly 500,000 people statewide voted early or cast an absentee ballot before the primary -- more than half the overall number who voted during the 2004 primary."
Six primaries are yet to be contested, with 217 delegates available. Then there are roughly 750 "super delegates" who are two-thirds decided and split evenly between the two candidates, with one-third undecided. So that means about 475 votes are in play. Obama must win 226 of those to clinch the nomination, or just under half. If Clinton can win about 55% of the remaining votes in play, she'll deny Obama the nomination and they'll proceed to a brokered convention.
Even with 199% of his tribesmen voting for him in the general, Obeyme will get creamed. He is truly unelectable. Riots will follow because his constituents don’t comprehend demographics and statistics.
Are there enough blacks in North Carolina for B. Hussein to take it in the general election?
This strategy may work in the primaries, especially in states that have a large number of African Americans, but I fail to see how it can work in the general. 95% of 12 or 13% of the general population and 37% of white rats is certainly not enough to win. So much for the great uniter. I suspect once the nomination is secure the Senator with the most liberal voting record will have to run the rest of his campaign by going to the center to try and attract as many independents as he can.
Yes.
It’s all about turnout. Get a heavy turnout from the AAs & Ds with a lackluser turnout from Rs and NC will be chalked up in the D’s corner come November.

But that's what Democrats do... It's their S.O.P.
I bet Barack is comforted knowing that his prime support in North Carolina was the same coalition that was ready to lynch the 3 Duke lacrosse players in that trumped up rape case. Durham’s African-American community (and I’m sure most of North Carolina’s) and the Academic Elites in Raleigh-Durham (and I’m sure elsewhere around the state) were ready to lynch these young men based on no evidence and a very shakey uncertain (lying) charge by the so-called victim. Even after the District Attorney’s case was shown to be an absolute sham, those calling for the imprisonment of these young men wouldn’t be deterred.
Now that group of constituents is, I’m sure, 100% behind Barack “the great uniter” Obama.... Advice to Senator Obama: you are judged by the company you keep.
He is truly unelectable...
...you truly do not understand the electoral college dynamic, do you...all he has to do to win is to hold onto the states the pathetic Kerry won in 2004, then, by adding Iowa (seemingly a done deal) and Colorado (he’s beating McCain there, for now, anyway)and he stands at 269 EV’s...270 neeeded for victory...which ensures that McCain, who surely will beat Obama in both Florida and Ohio, will have an equal number...the election is thrown into the House by reason of Article XII, and the Democrat House easily gives the election to Barack...
It doesn’t matter. Note the use of absentee ballots by blacks. That’s a commodity.
37% of white rats is certainly not enough to win...
...sounds like you’re buying into el rushbo’s dumb comments yesterday...what makes you believe that winning 37% of whites against a democrat opponent will translate into that same number against a republican...or are you saying that 63% of white democrats will vote for a 72 year old republican over a 48 year old black democrat...
Did I miss something? When can Republicans (or 'other' parties') vote in the Dem primary in NC? Independents, sure....but other than them, only Dems can vote in the Dem Primary.
Otherwise, no real surprises here. Black people vote for Obama? Shock! Amazement!
