Every election the Republicans won was without winning the minorities vote. In fact they won these elections despite the vast majority of the minorities voting against them.

When republicans can pull in some 40 to 45% of Hispanics, and 85% of blacks, we stand a very good chance of winning most elections.

When Hispanics vote 70% for democrats and blacks vote 90-95% for democrats, we can't win.

We can't win because, when whites are split pretty much down the middle when voting for democrats and republicans, the huge "minority" vote which almost exclusively votes democrat will, of course, swing the election to democrats. That 95% black vote in the last election pretty much decided the election. Thus, in a way, we have a "democracy" by minority rule.

That 95% black vote in the last election pretty much decided the election.

A 95% of the black vote going democrat in 2008 versus a 91% in of the black vote going democrat 2004 makes less than 0.5% difference of the total votes as blacks only represent 13% of the electorate.

Obama only got 49% of the male vote, he got 53% of the female vote, that is what decided the race.
