(Wasilla is more than eighty per cent white.)

I wonder what this guy's opinion was of Howard Dean's level of comfort with non-whites, since Vermont is 99.6% white, and Dean used to work at and be on the board of an organization founded by a woman who wanted to drastically reduce the black population?

I'm sure he figured Dean is OK with non-whites, because like Palin he's married to a person of mixed race...oops, never mind. Must be because Dean never makes ethnic jokes...oops, never mind.

In all seriousness, I wonder how many Dems in Congress represent districts or states that are quite a bit whiter than Wasilla. For example, I doubt very much that Barney Frank's district is any less than 90% white, and Connecticut's two Dem Senators represent a population that is 87% white.

Excellent point. Hard to figure Joe "Plugs" Biden's old district being exactly rife with hardcore 'bangers on th' o.g. tip, either, come to think. ;)

Massachusetts’s 4th congressional district is 87.9% white, according to Wikipedia. That’s one gerrymandered district.
