Pew Poll: 20% of White Democrats Vote McCain If Obama Is The Nominee
Pew Poll ^ | February 28 2008 | Pew Poll

Democratic Base Fissures

Although attention has been focused on McCain's problems with the GOP base, there are indications that some Democrats might defect if Obama is the party's nominee. Overall, 20% of white Democratic voters say they would vote for McCain if Obama is the Democratic nominee. That is twice the percentage of white Democrats who say they would support McCain in a Clinton-McCain matchup. Older Democrats (ages 65 and older), lower-income and less educated Democrats also would support McCain at higher levels if Obama rather than Clinton is the party's nominee.

Seems sensible. All people, not just white voters, should be disgusted by Obama’s flagrant and constant race-baiting. They only had to lose one primary before introducing the “Bradley Effect”, and it’s all gone downhill from there. The disgusting part is the Republicans and Freepers who’ve backed the claims of racism up in a shortsighted attempt at hurting the Clinton campaign, seeming oblivious to the fact that they’re binding their own hands should Obama be the nominee.

Well that’s certainly a good sign especially for Ohio. West Virginia won’t be a problem. Perhaps Ohio won’t either. If your family is doing it, others are as well.

No. I would ask the guy who started the thread. I was just commenting on the article he posted.

Not remotely close.

There are at least 6 states where blacks make up over 50% of the democratic vote, and another 6 states where it is over 40%. Nationally, it is nearly 30% of the Democratic vote is black.

This is going to fall on Obama’s face and Hillary will be even a stronger candidate in 2012. This might just be what she hopes. lol. She did say many times over that her and McCain are great pals.

quit blaming crackers

the real groups who won’t vote for any black are Mexicans and some Asians

it’s verboten to say it but very apparent from observing primary voting stats

“dem’s are racists.”

Some perhaps but many also don’t want:
1. Higher taxes
2. More support for abortion including late term
3. More gun controls
4. Amnesty for illegal aliens (certain with Obama)
5. Protectionist Trade policies
6. Ultra liberal supreme court justices

Most of us have no reason to vote for a dem I have never have and never will. The dems have nothing to offer anyone who works for a living.

I’ve already read all of that. Every thread that has new info on Obama sickens me more and more. Just because I’m not a McCain fan, doesn’t mean I’m voting for a Democrat.

Hopefully McCain will wipe the floor with Obama in the debates. That will take the sting out of having to vote for him. Like I said, reading his daughter’s blog helped a little. She seems to be a sweet girl and his family would look good in the Whitehouse.

white voters choose the white guy over the black guy = racism

black voters choose the black guy over the white guy = solidarity

I don’t even want to go there. Hopefully she’ll keep running her mouth. She’s worse that Tehrezza Heinz! She needs some of those booze-soaked raisins to mellow out.

......Ir’s probably more than 20%.....

The real dirty secret is that there is a large percentage of the party realizing they aren’t Democrats any more.

Pelosi/Reid have severely pissed them off.

You’re right. This is what never ceases to amaze me. The very things you mentioned, most people are against yet they continually vote for the same people who implement these things. In the south it’s a fear of Republicans passed down from the Roosevelt era.

Exactly. Better than that bunch of muslims in the picture having free reign into our country and our WH. And we don’t want Bubba roaming the halls of the WH again, either.
