I know it's over nine months after the election, but I'm still curious:
Does anyone have any statistics showing what percentage of black REPUBLICANS voted for Obama?
In the absence of statistics, does anyone want to take a guess?
Both of them?
My guess - All of them.
Rim shot.
Good one!
i pretty sure martin luther kings family voted for mclame and palin
98%
The more timely question to ask is this:
“What percentage of illegal aliens that are given citizenship in early 2010 will vote for Dems in the 2010 elections? And will there be enough to replace the independents and more conservative Dems who voted for Obama in 2008 who will vote against him in 2012 to re-elect him?”
99.9%
A Conservative Black Friend said ‘Can’t Go Against The Blood!’
Now He won’t talk about ‘IT’
He Is The RACIST.
The number would be no where near enough needed to make McCain the winner.
Bingo.
I do believe it’s racist to even ask this question.
You got yourself a militia training in your back yard or something?
I’ve been here nine plus years.
It’s a vanity post, but it’s honest and not racist.
I’m not racist and I’m not afraid to ping the owner of this site.
I believe that the same % voted for obama which also believes that OJ was innocent.
You believe it is racist to ask that question?
LOL
Pretty sure that Blackwell, Steele, Keyes, W. Williams and Sowell didn’t...so my guess is 50%
We have no idea since voting is by secret ballot, at least for now.
My guess is all of them. A black man that recognizes himself as, and registers as, a conservative is not likely to bend to identity politics. What you saw in 08 was alot of blacks who never voted coming out in droves for the O. Conservative blacks saw through this.

Did I need a sarcasm tag on that???? C’mon!
As a Bible believing Christian, I take that Noah and the Flood stuff as an actual factual event. If that was the case, wouldn't we all be of the same "Blood"? :) That's how I see things anyway.
Replying to my post. Thought the question was how many voted for McCain.
REDACTION
I know a black Conservative Republican from Tulsa who wouldn’t vote for ZERO for dog catcher and worked against him every chance he got which was almost daily. There is no way Ken Blackwell or Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell voted for ZERO. Have heard 97% of blacks voted for ZERO so that would leave 3% black conservatives who didn’t. ZERO didn’t even win the black precincts in Oklahoma by 97%. It was less.
I’m just curious. Some people reveal their decisions in exit polls.
And speculation is always interesting.
Who cares? Many people made the wrong decision because the Republican party was too busy playing socialism light and handing out money to its own favored interests.
What pisses me off is the number of people in the finance industry who supported B. Hussein Obama with not just votes, but wads of cash. That really makes me mad. And these same fools are now pushing green shoots while ignoring the fact that the regime has gotten in the way of US economic recovery.
BTW, I voted with my feet and moved out of NY to Tokyo earlier this year. Even here, the blush has started wearing off Obama man.
Do you seriously think I was serious???
The OJ Trial Is the Perfect Example,
Blacks cried ‘Innocent’
Whites Knew Guilty.
Sorry. I’m a bit thick at times.
The Abolistionists Roundtable of Joshua’s Trail certainly didn’t vote for him. You should tune in on Sat. mornings from 8-10 est., they stream live on the internet and hear what they have to say. They should be national, but they broadcast from Ypsi Michigan, outside Detroit.
Excellent point.
Oh, so now you got something against thin people too????
It takes a lot of guts to be a conservative black person. I don’t think very many of them voted for 0bami.
Rev. Wright and His Protege has started this Mess.
No Republicans voted for Obama: black, white, or other.
If you are a Republican, everything Obama stands for is anathema to you. If not, you’re not really a Republican, and probably never were.
We saw a lot of people who were never really Republicans reveal their true colors in November: Colin Powell, Peggy Noonan, Christopher Buckley, and quite a few more.
I’ve wondered the same thing. If that makes me racist, so be it.
When virtually every black right~of~center pundit said that they were voting O’Bumbler because of the “historical aspect” I could only shake my head. I wondered if they would so readily vote for Satan if he had an afro.
In the end I know that it was a forgone conclusion that he would win. How could he not - what with an expenditure twice that of all the other candidates combined, the total support of a slavish State Run Media, and an admitted GW fatigue.
We actually have five, that I know of, AA FReepers. Three of whom, are circa 2000, 2001 sign-ons. I’m sure they voted as Conservative as possible.
Don’t forget JC Watts
Doesn’t answer your question statistically, just food for thought from both sides (and there are certainly more examples to be had from either viewpoint):

LOL. I read that three times, and still went...huh?
I stand corrected. You’ve all made well thought out responses with the data to back it up.
Don’t you wish politicians could admit their mistakes as easily?
Perhaps another question could be, “What percentage of black REPUBLICANS voted against Obama (as opposed to voting FOR McCain)”
Not for an old fart like me. I got it.
“The number would be no where near enough needed to make McCain the winner.”
There ya’ go. As much as I disdain the obvious reverse bigotry, it still comes back to that.
We just didn’t field a real Conservative candidate, we let the media do our pickin’.
When I say we, I certainly don’t mean us, as in FReepers or others who believe in the core Conservative values.
“... 4% of blacks voted Republican..”
By the same token, if Hilarious had been the Dim nominee, what percentage of female Republicans would have crossed over to vote for her? Same issue.
Does anyone have any statistics showing what percentage of Conservatives and Republicans voted for Obama?
We know Obama didn't just win with only Democrat votes and black votes, but he also had some help from "some of us."
LOL!!! 99.99%? That is a pure guess!
See the exit polling data I provided a link to earlier in the thread.
Thank you kindly.
