Re: Let me ask this... (none / 0)

A good example of that might be Michigan, or Illinois, or New Jersey, or North Carolina. But these are all flawed. All have higher black percentages than the nation at large, and lower Latino percentages. So, of the big states Florida might actually be the best match.

Re: Let me ask this... (3.00 / 1)

FL might be good, if it wasn't so damn big and costly.  Also we then run into problems with old people vs young people demographics.  I don't think we should ignore all other demographics for the sake of looking at race; let's look at the whole picture: age, education, union percentage, rural-urban ratio, political swingyness, and yes, race, in our calculation.  Making it solely based on race ignores all the other complexities in determining how people will vote.
