If Republicans will study the returns from Massachusetts, then review the returns from Virginia and New Jersey, light will fall upon the path to victory over Barack Obama in 2012.
Obama defeated John McCain by winning the black vote 24 to 1, the Hispanic vote 2 to 1 and taking a larger share of the white vote, 44 percent, than did John Kerry or Al Gore. As the white vote was three-fourths of the national turnout, Obama coasted to victory.
Now consider Massachusetts. In the 2008 election, no less than 79 percent of the voters were white, and Obama carried them by 20 points, winning the state 62 to 36.
How did Scott Brown turn that 26-point deficit into a 6-point victory? By winning the white vote as massively as did Obama. While there are no exit polls to prove it, we do have exit polls from Virginia and New Jersey, which tend to corroborate it.

Bob McDonnell won the Virginia governor's race by 17, while McCain lost Virginia by 6. As McDonnell did equally poorly with African-Americans, losing the black vote 90 to 9, while McCain's lost it 92 to 8, what explains his Virginia landslide?
The white vote. McDonnell won Virginia's white vote 68 to 32, though his opponent was a downstate Democrat more conservative than the Northern Virginia candidates he beat in the primary.
In New Jersey, same story. McCain won 8 percent of the black vote. Gov. Chris Christie won 8 percent of the black vote. How did Christie turn a McCain loss of New Jersey by 16 points into a 5-point victory?

That’s real smart, Pat, turn this into a race issue.
This article was better in the original German, LOL!
***Look for ‘you know who’ to push him out the back door so that she can run in 2012!***
You may be correct. She looks terribly aged & miserable as SOSUS. Bill is getting more press running around, flying off to Haiti and hobnobbing with the Bushes.
As for the *white vote* focus of this thread - certainly many Dems wanting to be *color blind* went totally blind, deaf and dumb embracing the first less white president. They are beginning to open their eyes and realizing he is worse than John Kerry, Mike Dukakis, Walter Mondale or Al Gore and not near as cuddly as Bill Clinton.
He has lost everyone except for the racists with matching skin color.
My fear is that obama has screwed it up for competent blacks like Allen West.
He’s lost all of America, that is unless black people like not having a job.
Forget white. He’s lost the entire spectrum.
Whites will never be the minority in this country.
The 2000 census created the race “hispanics” in order to among other things give the perception that whites would soon be the minority. But the FACT is, more than half of hispanics self identify as white.
:-))
People who are smart enough to support Allen West are not distracted by skin color. As for the swing-vote sheeple, once they hear a few sentences from West, they will know they are not confronted with another Zero.
My sister is raising her bi-racial granddaughter. The girl is quite upset with Zer0 for divorcing himself from his "whiteness." (tortured sentence, but you know what I mean) I'm told that she's in the process of composing a letter to call him to task for this. I told my sister that I expect a copy when the kid sends it off.
Obama only won 44% of the white vote, so he never “had” white America. Clearly, many of the 44% are now waking up and each percentage that shifts presents a monumental downturn in his electability, just by the sheer fact that 74% of voters are white.
Over half of hispanics self identify at white, so in reality the white population is still 80%+
I’ve read that 80% of “Hispanics” self identify as white.
In fact, my two sister-in-laws - a Dominican but US born and a Columbian by birth - are both pretty darn white looking to me also!
The cool thing is that my Columbia born SIS is now a US citizen (and her mom too) by way of the old fashioned way, meaning, they earned it!
