Democrats are bracing for a precipitous drop in black voter turnout next month and beyond.
Alarms are being rung about just how many African-Americans will vote without President Barack Obama on the ballot, and the New Jersey and Virginia governors races in three weeks will provide the first major test since the 2008 election.
A recent Washington Post survey estimated the black turnout in Virginias governors race at 12 percent, which would be about a 40 percent drop from last years general election. Other polling has shown both its and New Jerseys black population unmoved about the off-year election.
The question at this point isnt so much whether black voters will turn out at 2008 levels, but how big the drop will be and then, whether it carries into the 2010 midterms.
Tom Jensen, a spokesman for the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling, has been among the most outspoken. He said the high number of Democrats with districts that are significantly black means such a turnout shift could be disastrous for Democrats.
If what looks like is going to happen in Virginia plays out on a national level, I do think Democrats will lose the House, Jensen said.
We really dont find that many people who voted Democratic in 2008 are switching sides; theyre just becoming complacent, he added. And thats particularly true with black Democrats, which is the partys most dependable voter bloc.
Virginia is about 20 percent black, and New Jersey is about 14 percent black. Both percentages are higher than the 12 percent national average. And in both states, polling shows the race could come down to the final days.

Wonder if their Hopium is running out.
Obvoiusly it’s a racist plot that here are no black candidates to choose from..
Black religious conservatives oppose Barack Hussein Obama’s policies on abortion and same sex relations.
They will pull their support on the Democrat party. Some black preachers spoke out against Obama during the 2008 scampaign. Others said that his stances on abortion and homosexuality were being miscast by his critics. We’ve seen the policies he’s instituted while in the White House.
God fearing men and women answer to a higher power than Washington.

“What do you mean, I can’t vote for Obama this time??!!”
That..and the fact that Obeyme didn’t pay for their mortgage, cars, credit cards, Escalade. The big “brotha” didn’t help out yo..
There’s no Free Stuff or any sign of it on the immediate horizon.
No, No, No...It’s because this time they can only vote once!
Just sit there, waiting for "Obama money" to arrive in the mail.

I’m surprised the democrats aren’t trying to put him on the ballot just to make sure they vote.
2012 will be the same. Been there, done that, got nothing. So too with the young “Pet Rock Hopey Change” and “let’s make history” voters.
And maybe some buyer’s remorse...
Shhhhh, it's racist to say "racist." :)
Well maybe its hard to have Hope and Change when so many people are out of work because of obama?
....the black vote has always been indifferent...the Dems know this....they know they gotta round ‘em up and hand carry them to the polls...the Dems call this their “get out the vote” effort.
Give Obama time-free health care will be a start!
Hmmmm...this sounds racist to me. "Complacent" sounds like "Lazy"....will someone alert MSNBC please?
NJ is 14% black and it votes that badly? A lot of dumb white liberals in NJ. BTW - I like conservative African Americans. I do not like liberal anything.
Does anyone else see a whole lotta racism there?
I mean, if we don't get one of our own to vote for, we're not gonna vote, at all?
Will anyone call it that?
Hey Dems, just push the gay agenda onto black voters. They will support you.
They’re all sitting at home waiting for their checks.
Hand out money.
That’s okay. They will make up the missing votes with the usual illegals and mickey mouse; donald duck and dead voters.
ROGULSKI: Why are you here?
WOMAN #1: To get some money.
ROGULSKI: What kind of money?
WOMAN #1: Obama money.
ROGULSKI: Where’s it coming from?
WOMAN #1: Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?
WOMAN #1: I don’t know, his stash. I don’t know. (laughter) I don’t know where he got it from, but he givin’ it to us, to help us.
WOMAN #2: And we love him.
WOMAN #1: We love him. That’s why we voted for him!
WOMEN: (chanting) Obama! Obama! Obama! (laughing)
There’s more:
ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?
WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.
ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you’re getting?
WOMAN: No, I won’t, but I’m waiting for a phone call.
ROGULSKI: Where’s the money coming from?
WOMAN: I believe it’s coming from the City of Detroit or the state.
ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?
WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.
ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?
WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He’s the president.
It is a "You'd better get the vote out plea" . . .works every time.".
If the GOP can get 60% of the non-black vote consistently, it won’t matter if the black turnout is 100%.
They’re just too impatient. I cannot believe that The Big Zero and his functionaries don’t have more Detroit-style handouts of Stimulus monies in their plans.
No, in 2012, somebody will run and real negro. You know the 100% african american, not some hybrid import. This would be fun to watch.
The dead don’t have to show up to be “counted” ... dems will “vote the blacks” with or without their help...
Barack the magic negro brought them out, some white honky, middle-aged sausage will not get them as fired up.
Saying blacks won’t vote because Obama wasn’t on the ballot isn’t racist, but if it’s shown white people will vote because he is in office is total racism on the white’s part.
“Barack the magic negro brought them out”
Untrue. Voted in the same percentages for Kerry as Obama.
The “magic” part is on whites. Whites are more susceptible to hopium than black people, black people are less easy to fool.
Wonder how may “black voters” (implies liberal) will not show up because they are unemployed and getting nervous about benefits running out after the 13 week extension. And feeling betrayed.
Look at this coming train wreck:
When Did Your County’s Jobs Disappear?””
http://www.slate.com/id/2216238/
5,561,032 jobs lost since June of 2008
The Dems will gin up black turnout by telling them that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the GOP.

OMG — it’s almost as bad reading it here as it was hearing it on the radio! Yecchhh — IDIOTS!!!
Unfortunately this is THE only hope Christie now has. The voters in New Jersey are too stupid to escape the marxists’ grip.
Oh PULEAZE.....all it takes is some “walkin round money” and a BUS to get them to Vote!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find only things evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelogus
Democrats must pander to racists in order to get their vote.... in other words put a male black liberal on the ballot.
There were first time voters last year who thought they HAD voted for president during the primaries.
Oh, noes!
This is why stereotypes exist.
I cannot stand Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank, in spite of their skin tone resembling mine.
Liberals of all stripes are the opposition.
