If Republicans will study the returns from Massachusetts, then review the returns from Virginia and New Jersey, light will fall upon the path to victory over Barack Obama in 2012.
Obama defeated John McCain by winning the black vote 24 to 1, the Hispanic vote 2 to 1 and taking a larger share of the white vote, 44 percent, than did John Kerry or Al Gore. As the white vote was three-fourths of the national turnout, Obama coasted to victory.
Now consider Massachusetts. In the 2008 election, no less than 79 percent of the voters were white, and Obama carried them by 20 points, winning the state 62 to 36.
How did Scott Brown turn that 26-point deficit into a 6-point victory? By winning the white vote as massively as did Obama. While there are no exit polls to prove it, we do have exit polls from Virginia and New Jersey, which tend to corroborate it.

Bob McDonnell won the Virginia governor's race by 17, while McCain lost Virginia by 6. As McDonnell did equally poorly with African-Americans, losing the black vote 90 to 9, while McCain's lost it 92 to 8, what explains his Virginia landslide?
The white vote. McDonnell won Virginia's white vote 68 to 32, though his opponent was a downstate Democrat more conservative than the Northern Virginia candidates he beat in the primary.
In New Jersey, same story. McCain won 8 percent of the black vote. Gov. Chris Christie won 8 percent of the black vote. How did Christie turn a McCain loss of New Jersey by 16 points into a 5-point victory?

Yes.
This article was posted earlier this morning in General Chat.
Should read “Has obama lost the ignorant doofus whites who didn’t take the time to look at who this guy is?”
I don’t like his white half any more than his black half! I dislike 100% of him!
Whites are the swing vote, though that might be too generous because of the size of the vote numbers they have.

“Has Obama lost white America?”
He had it at one time?
The comments over there on Human Events are quite interesting. Human Events does not moderate comments, so it’s a big of a free for all. I found them interesting and you might too.
What they failed to say is that Obama had greater percentages of the blacks and hispanic because of illegal voting!
Scarier is he hates his white side and never adresses it’s existence. He also hates white America and especially those smart enough not to purchase his snake oil.
There is no such thing as “White America.” But what he means by that elected Obama.
Maybe some day when there are no more liberals out there dividing the country...
They must be a bunch of racists or something. /s
It’s repudiation of Socialism, Congress, and Obama’s agenda.
It’s not his color nor ‘dialect’ that’s being rejected.
Look for ‘you know who’ to push him out the back door so that she can run in 2012!
That’s a trick question.
If I answer “Yes”, then the whites are racists.
If I answer “No”, then the whites are fools.
hmmm hmmm hmmm
They must be a bunch of racists or something. /s
That said, In South eastern Massachusetts the other day, Scott Brown won a race.
In Brockton and Randolph Brown lost, clearly.
Brockton & Randolph have large black communities.
Scott Brown won every other community in the greater Brockton area.
Clearly there is racism in America, but I submit, that it is not coming from white America.
Many blacks vote mindlessly for Democrats.
That fact, baffles me. I simply do not grok it.
It is worth noting that whites are the one group for which ethnic solidarity is not a major, widespread factor in voting, unlike for minorities like blacks and hispanics.
With the liberal multicultural balkanization of the nation, the media-academic focus on skin color as the defining characteristic of a person and whites becoming a minority in the next generation, it would not be suprising to see the dominant political dynamic become race-loyalty on the part of all ethnic groups.
Thanks, liberals, for f’ing up the country.
