Exactly! Obama got a lot of minorities to get out and vote in the 2008 and 2012 elections. Those folks stayed home in 2010, and likely will do the same in 2014. Unless the Democrats find another 'Obama' in 2016, I think they're gonna find it WAY more difficult to win. Even a woman won't necessarily do the trick, unless she's also a minority, because the Democrat women have always turned out to vote for their candidates. It was the increase in minority voters that got Obama over the finish line in front.
I think you are spot on. I was disappointed when Herman Cain went down in flames. I was also disappointed that Alan West of Florida was not selected as the VP candidate. As Herman Cain said, "I can get 1/3 of the black vote". How many other minorities? I really hope tha Biden takes a shot at the nomination. Old, stupid white guy with a mean streak - thats a formula the Republicans can run against.
I don’t want to sound anti-black but even the Demcrooks keep their minorities in the shadows till its time to intimidate whitey out of his tax dollars or rights. In Illinois we had several competant D crooks but these days blacks are to be seen not heard from, D politics here is a white thang.
