...that Democrats are able to neutralize their white male voter problem with votes from African-Americans -- even though the latter group is only about one-third the size of the former... "more than offsets" effect of white male votes relative to black votes, by 2004 the share of all votes cast by white men had shrunk by 3 percent while the share cast by African-American voters has increased by 2 percent; today, the black vote fully compensates for the Democrats' deficit among white men.

I call bullSH$T !
They use white male vote against all black votes.

What do they consider a "deficit" of white male voters ? less than 100%?

In 2004, white men = 36% of the vote, non-white(more than just black) = 10% of the vote.

whites as a whole = 77% of the vote; blacks as a whole = 11% of the vote.

what freaking math could he do to make the black vote cover the white man vote deficit for the RATs ?

Well, some theoretical answers using the numbers you provided (I’ll assume you didn’t make them up).

Well, presuming half of the whites were women, that puts white men at 38%...

Of those, probably a little more than half voted for Bush... So about 20%.

Did fully HALF of these voters once belong to the Democrat party? Even half = 10%, less than the number of blacks voting.

I call double bullsh$t !

In looking at census figures, there are approx. 40 million blacks. The Dept of Justice indicates that approx 1/3 of adult males are under jurisdiction of the justice department...i.e they aren’t suppose to vote.

Even stretching an assumption of an average family of 3. Assume 1/3 minors. down to 28 million.
additional 4.6 adults can’t vote, down to 24 million.

Kerry got 88% (21 million at most)of the black vote in 2004 - less of a percent than Clinton ever got.

Kerry got 37% of the white male vote and 41 % white overall.

The Rats are damn near max’d out on the black vote.

58% of the black population live in major urban areas. any increase in black votes will be in the majority of those areas and wont change election results in those areas.

3.5 million is the estimated black population of New York on July 1, 2004, highest of any state. Four other states had black populations that surpassed 2 million: Florida, Texas, California and Georgia. - 5 states contained 30 % of the black population.

How Slate makes their numbers work is way beyond me.

This article is Orwellian in its doublespeak.

It translates as follwos “those grapes were sour anyways”

They can’t get the vote with the lies so they discount the vote as irrelevant.
