Not bragging but still, not that different from our last few standard bearers before he is even officially declared. And with the possibility of him bringing new voters into the process he may not need to win as many white voters to win. Not that he shouldn't try of course...
Well, from the looks of the poll, he will gain about 3% on the number of blacks, and lose about 2% on the number of latinos, so, I do think he'll need over 40% of the white vote. But this is a pretty meaningless number, only the states matter.
The only numbers that matter are the ones that seem to benefit Clinton, be they delegates, states won, or popular vote totals in states her campaign agreed not to count.
Thanks, Jonathan for another great post. If not for you, I would have stopped reading this blog altogether. It's like politics through the looking glass.
I think that we should be looking at what they started with. It's possible that Kerry started with a higher level of support during the primaries and tapered off as the GE nears. From this we could extrapolate how much lower or higher Obama's support will go.
in Indiana even though they know him and he has a HUGE money advantage.
He didn't win in CA, TX, IN, OH, PA, MI, FL.
Exactly what new voters will he bring in. He needs to work on bringing the old voters back.
For every new voter he brings in 2 will walk out the door and I'm one of them.
Playing the race card against two good and fine Democrats is slimey and I will not support that kind of strategy.
Bill Clinton's foundation has already provided FREE AIDS medicine for MILLIONS of blacks in Africa. What the hell has Obama done?
Obama should wait until he is elected twice and leaves office with the highest approval rating ever recorded, like Bill Clinton, has done before he starts talking trash.
go ahead and take your marbles and go home, since that seems to be the maturity level. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
