Fewer whites vote for Obama in Alabama than anywhere else
Tuscaloosa News ^ | 11/12/08 | Tom Stevens

Posted on 11/12/2008 11:59:02 AM PST by pissant

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Black voters make up about 25% of the electorate in Alabama and Obama got 35% of the vote. They are assuming that every single Black voter voted for Obama. I know for a fact that didn’t happen. I’d say Obama easily got 90-92% of the Black vote (we DO have Black conservatives in Alabama) so the White vote was more realisticly in the 18-20% range.

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.

How shameful. Sexist whites in all those states refused to support a woman for VP, even though she had more experience than Obama.

I’m going to throw something else out there and probably catch some flack for it:

Anyone notice that the states where Obama lost big time with white voters have astronomically higher percentage of blacks living in them than in states where he won?

I’m sorry to say that I think my opinions of black culture were much higher until I had to live surrounded by it. At that point, they fell precipitously.

I’m tired of the violence, the sense of entitlement, and the accusations of racism when I’m there donating my services for free to that community. You don’t see that sense of entitlement out of any other group; only blacks.

And I’m not going to make the disclaimer that this isn’t the case for all because that much is blatantly obvious to anyone with a square inch of white matter.

Those lists of states are pretty indicative of where traditional American values reside and are still strong. Obama is the anti-thesis (and because of his ideology, not his race...just as Kerry was the anti-thesis) of those same values.

On the other hand, we had emerge someone on the scene in this election who has the potential of becoming the recognized defender and leader of those all-American traditional principles and swinging things the other way after the disaster an Obama admiistration will become if he proceeds as he has outlined.

Sarah Palin is that person. The libs and RINO's detest her because of her ability to connect with common Americans all over the country. Her appeal was evident not only in the large numbers who came out to see her, but in the excitement generated at those rallies.

She accomplished more in a few short weeks in that regard than other politicians have in a life time.

Now, that McCain lost, we must do our part to stand in the breech and write our GOP senators and urge them to stand.

At the same time standing up in any way we can ourselves over these next four years until we can turn this OBAMANATION out.



Many more designs here.

Sadly, that is exactly what has happened to Virginia. Thanks to the lib/tard/Yankee invasion of the last 10-15 years, I fear my beloved Commonwealth is a lost cause.

The GOOD news (for ME, anyway) is that Alabama is #1 on my list of places to move when I retire. I'm already shopping for land down there.

And the state-by-state statistics concerning the fewest black voters to vote for the white candidate would be found where exactly?

If the LeftMedia is trying to pin the great state of Alabama as the state with the most racist whites, I for one would like to know where the most racist blacks could be found.

Everywhere?

That’s what I thought.
