While I applaud anyone who votes against Obama, for any reason, I abhor the racism motivation. It's not racism to oppose This radical racist black man, for he truely is a racist and a race baiter. And the true racists are the 98 percent of blacks that will vote for him just because he is (half) black and a DemonRAT. Those same blacks would turn their back on an emmently qualified black candidate, such as our former secretary of state Ken Blackwell, simply because he was a Republican.

Eastern shore, but the worst experiences were in DC and Balmer. I actually felt at home on the shore. I liked far-east Merlin. It’s the middle I couldn’t stand.

If you are looking for a poll showing a McCain lead before election day, you can forget it.

I agree. I had thought that they would tighten prior to the election in order to retain what little credibility they have. But they have a built-in excuse - Bradley Effect - that they intend to play until the very end. This will also be used to discredit McCain's presidency.

see #84. Wow...these past few weeks I have checked joining dates with those I suspect being trolls—but imagine joining seven years ago, and today is his first post. Talk about your imbeds...

I abhor the racism motivation.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I do too. There are a number of blacks I would would vote for in any election.

But...Racism does exist, especially among those of my father’s generation. It **will** be a factor. He and my mother are both FDR Democrats. FDR walked on water as far they are concerned, yet, in this election both are voting for McCain.

The reason my parents gave me is that they saw what happened to Philadelphia after the blacks took over the politics in that city. It does not occur to them that it isn’t the color of skin that destroyed Philly. It was Marxist Democratic philosophy and policies.

I live in Florida. I do my own day-to-day poll, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that 80% of the registered democrats I know will be voting for McCain if they haven’t already.

It is astounding what the Obama campaign has gotten away with. If only I could tell you what I do for a living so you would really know the extent of it. It’s disgusting.

If Mac wins and Palin gets 2 terms, it coud be 2021 or later before another RAT is elected prez. By then much of MSM denizens will be reduced to trying to remember where they were this morning. 1st 1/4 of this century GOP all the way?

what percentage of eligible black voters are registered to vote this year? in 2004 approx 56% registered and 65% of the 56% voted. Anyone have any way to extrapolate those numbers for this year yet?

Better keep our powder dry until we actually win; I don’t want to invite bad karma on our side.

Don't worry the Republicans that stayed home in 2004 are coming out in force this time. It is going to be a record turnout for both parties. I think we may get enough Republicans to help reduce the losses in the House and Senate.

If there were a black conservative running, we would sure as heck vote for them.

The racism is in the black community. When 97%-99% of one demographic vote for a candidate, just because of skin color, that is racist. There is no diversity of thought there. It begins and ends with skin color.

I think it is foolish to say these folk vote against Obama strictly because he is black. His ideas are left wing, early 20th century garbage. All stuff that has already been tried and proven to fail every time. If a white, asian, latino, or pollock were running with his platform, he would lose by an even bigger margin than he is going to. If a white guy ran with this platform, I would venture a guess that he wouldn’t crack 40% in the popular vote.

YOU WROTE “Take2—have you really been here this long and have yet to make more than one post?”

That’s right. And that affects the result of the election ... how?

Remember, trolls are people too. And sometimes they’re even right.

However, the truth is that the Democrat voter registration goals in many states only moved Democrats to parity with Republicans in voter registration.

That's the assertion on which most of your conclusions hinge. Got some support for it?
