Fewer whites vote for Obama in Alabama than anywhere else

TUSCALOOSA | Don't tell Bill Maher, but the vote among the white electorate in Alabama for president elect Barack Obama was the lowest in the county at only 10 percent.

From an analysis by MSNBC:

"We took a look at Obama's performance with white voters in all 50 states. In 13 of them, Obama received less than 35% of the white vote. His three lowest performing states: Alabama (10%), Mississippi (11%), and Louisiana (14%). The other 10: GA (23%), SC (26%), TX (26%), OK (29%), AR (30%), UT (31%), AK (32%), WY (32%), ID (33%), and TN (34%). On the other hand, Obama won the white vote in 18 states and DC: CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, IA, ME, MA, MI, MN. NH. NY. OR, RI, WA, WI and VT. Obama's lowest percentage of the white vote he received in a state that he won: NC (35%). The highest percentage of the white vote Obama received in a state he lost: MT (45%)."

Of course, as I noted in the link above and reiterated here, and here, Obama actually won in the city of Tuscaloosa with 62 percent of the vote, albeit, while losing the county as a whole, approximately 57.7 for John McCain to 41.5 for Obama.

Maybe the good folks of Alabama have more sense then to vote for a marxist, gay crack ho.

[brownsfan]

Hmmmm... isn’t it an annymous ballot?
How do they know who voted for what?

[thesetruths]

It’s ANAL-ysis, doncha know?

[Free ThinkerNY]

God bless anyone who voted against the Obamanation.

[Ingtar]

d’oh - those are the states where they were more likely to look at his record than his race and actually the least racist.

[jveritas]

So Obama got the same percentage of white votes that Kerry and Gore got before him. I remember that the liberal media said in many articles that he was going to get the largest percentage of white votes than any democrat since LBJ and of course it turned out to be false. Also without a an increase of the white voters age 18-29 Obama would have less than 38% of the White votes and hence he would have lost the elections. This time the white young people who most of them contribute nothing to the society made up the difference and gave Obama his victory.

How do they know the voter’s color? Who’s keeping track of votes by color? Why?

Sweet home Alabama.

“Maybe the good folks of Alabama have more sense then to vote for a marxist, gay crack ho.”

Obama is a socialist, but regarding the rest of what you wrote about him, I don’t think random personal attacks are going to benefit the conservative cause.

[manic4organic]

Uh...what were we talking about? Yow!

[pissant]

Nothing random about it. Ask Larry Sinclair.

[Warlord David]

Intelligent is found in the most uncommon places, Sweet Home Alabama.

Bill Maher and MSNBC mentioned in the first paragraph.

I'm not sure I need to go any farther.

[nclaurel]

I know NC has an “R” or a “D” on the ballots, but how would any state know if the person is white? That is scary!

Yeah, well, we are just KKK white racist's here in Alabama. We all still live in the civil war era. We are not with it. We hate everybody. Blacks, Jews, women, dogs, cats, birds. Yup, we just hate everything. We are rednecked hicks, driving around in pickup trucks, drinking beer and tossing the cans in the back, with our rife and shotguns in the rack on the back “winder” shield. Our fishing rod is in the back with the hound dog and we are going coon hunting after the football game and catch them little critters so we can make Davy Crockett coon skin caps with that neat tail hanging off the back of it. Yup, just dumb, stupid, white racists down here. That is the way the uppity yankees see us.
