“Don’t think Georgia counts as a “swing state”. Could be one reason for the no-show: don’t win a fight that doesn’t matter.’
2010 US Census shows Georgia is 30.5% black and 8.8% hispanic. He will likely capture 90% of these demographics in an election or 35% of the total. He needs only 16% more (made up of whites, Asians, and American Indians) to win the state in 2012. McCain did win the state in 2008.
“Could be one reason for the no-show: don’t win a fight that doesn’t matter.”
I can just here it. “Those rednecks down in Georgia will just look like idiots saying I’m not qualified. And they weren’t going to vote for me anyway. We STILL have 56 states where we are on the ballot!”
