email concerning the Obama defeat:
Here is why you are wrong ( I wish it were not so):
One Word: Demographics.
The USA is approx 70% White
Approx 30% Minorities and illegals (yes illegals vote)
In 2008, the 30%(minorities and Illegals) voted greater then 90% plus for Obama. Obama got the most votes in history and more than 53% of the total vote.
If this constituency comes out again in numbers to vote for Obama at 90% plus again then it is a completely lost cause for us. Simple math dooms us.
The Whites would have to break greater then 67% against Obama. That means Obama will need only 1 in 3 White persons vote to be re-elected.
(.30*.90)+(.7*.33)= 50.1 % And an Obama victory.
Now it should be relatively easy for Obama to get 1/3 of the White vote, especially when you consider the Democrats traditional constituencies among whites: Students, teachers(brainwashers), Elderly, Welafare bums, Union Thugs, Gays, enviromental wackos and general bleeding heart types (aka most women).
So you can see, Obama will have no trouble scoring 1/3 of the white group.
Now maybe, people will understand why the Democrats are not serious about illegal immigration. In fact, Obama just passed an executive order stopping deportation of illegals(unless convicted of violent crimes). That and Democrats across the country are stopping and opposing any Voter ID laws. This is of course aimed at protecting their illegal voters.
Maybe people will understand the illegal immigration problem now and why one party sees it as a path to power.
RE: One Word: Demographics
That would be a major factor today if this were a pure popular voting system.
I would surmise that most illegals who vote are concentrated on states that WILL GO Obama ANYWAY ( California, Illionois, NY ) and won’t make much of a dent in Florida or Texas.
That is why we have the Electoral College System and thank the Framers for that.
True . . . but Hispanics never went 90% for Obama, you factored them in and the EC is still in play - the minorities are all concentrated in the large cities.
