uhh ya.. that is what I said.

Mitt won’t help so we have to KEEP working to rid our selfs of the rats/rino’s. Mitt would be one of those.

But I’ll take a rino over a rat in this case.

I agree with your analysis of the non-whites being younger and multiplying. This is intentional by those who tell us to “celebrate diversity”. In the last few months I’ve seen covered Muslim women and their kids in my mostly white upper middle class neighborhood and this is happening with increasing frequency. The kids are like seeds meant to change our country.

How did these people get here? Who is supporting them? The whole thing makes me feel helpless and very angry.

The above poll has Obama with 38% with 7% undecided. If the undecided go 38% for Obama then Obama would get 40.7% and Romney would get 59.3%.

By your own standard, Obama is in trouble with less than 1% margin.

All that is Black Liberation Theology.

Or Any Liberation Theology. "Hey kids,this Economics and Business Science is really hard to teach and even harder to learn. Even if you learned it there is no guarantee you can make a go of it. So we are going to take up this new religion. Now open your books to Chapter One,-- Social Justice."

That means the non-white population is going to start growing at a faster and faster rate.

So you get to change their traditional values.

And these numbers are almost entirely pre-convention.

Do not forget about turnout. You can’t assume that only 72% of the electorate will be white. You have to take into account that in 2008 non-whites had a higher than usual turnout. Look for a white turnout between 75% and 76%. If Romney get between 59% and 61% of the white vote he will win.

The 72% includes people under 18. Since comparatively White have less children on average, the proportion of voting-age for White should be larger a little bit than that number. Then, of course, there is also the issue of turn out.

I’ve read that Romney will need to win at least 60% of the white vote to win. McCain won 55% and still lost. The country has turned more non-white since then and will continue to at a faster and faster pace.

Different dynamics. Ratios take more from Obama and I believe the minority vote will swing at least 5-7% away from Obama too. Should be a shoo-in if not an actual landslide.

That’s before Romey’s speech last night. I’ll be surprised if all his numbers don’t go up now, especially among white women.

Yes, it is possible that Obama won’t do as well with the non-white vote as he did in 2008.
