Interesting data coming out of the Pennsylvania primary — which pretty much reflects the Democratic voting tendencies throughout this race:
- More women then men voting Democrat
- 90% of all black voters reflexively voted for the black candidate.
- 68% of all women voters reflexively voted for the female candidate (I’m guessing she lost the black woman vote).
Most interesting is this angle: It’s pretty much been left up to white men to vote based on, you know, the fucking issues, not just on racial and gender identity.
This has got to piss Nora Ephron off in a big way.
Incidentally, white men voted for the white woman 57% to 43% over the black guy in PA. Which means that more white men probably voted for Ron Paul in PA than they did for Barack Obama.




I, a registered Republican, sent $25 to Hillary yesterday. I am that concerned about Obama!
[Editor --- I understand your reasoning, Dianne. God forbid a Democrat wins this year -- but if one does, for the sake of our country, I sincerely hope it's Hillary. However, I still think a better strategy is to send any campaign donations directly to McCain.]
HAHAHA!!
Reason #31 Republicans are scared:

I lost interest in the polling data on these two dingus candidates long ago. It’s just the same mush-heads, with new wrinkles. So the racist B-HO is getting 90% of the black vote, I don’t find that surprising, nor do I find it surprising that white voters don’t like what they see whenever B-HO opens his falafal hole. Let them continue to rip each other, suits me, I think they are both done already, anyway.
Another one of those knock me over with a feather moments.
Official B-HO blogger is a communist.
That is some poorly written crap; it’s hilarious that the ‘evidence’ of the blogger admiring Chomsky is a paragraph of the blogger attacking Chomsky.
WTF?
Saying he should cool it is attacking?
/zah?
I have to say you seem awfully smug about black people voting for a black person or women voting for a woman when you, as a white man, intend to vote for- wait for it- a white man!
[Editor --- 90% of white people aren't voting for McCain. 90% of black people are voting for Obama. I'm sorry that you can't see that Obama's race is a factor.]
And why shouldn’t they?
It’s not as if they made that decision reflexively- Hillary Clinton had significant support from African Americans until about November.
