Obama’s White Vote Matters Less in 2012

[Tank]

National Journal projects the percentage of the white vote that President Obama will need to carry an individual state in 2012. The baseline simulation makes two key assumptions. First, that Obama captures as much of the minority vote in that state as he did in 2008. Second, that the minority population grows over the next two years at the same rate it has since 2000 and produces a commensurate increase in the minority share of the electorate. The chart shows where the growing minority presence will allow Obama to win states even if he loses support among whites—and where he will need to increase his support from whites to prevail.

Whites are blissfully oblivious to this. They think that having voted for Obama gives them a little glowpoint on their foreheads visible to blacks, who in turn think warm and affectionate thoughts about those whites. Turns out that's a load of crap, and it's every race for itself. But Mr. Whitey White gets awfully grumpy when you wake him up from his little dream of racial togetherness. Trust me on this.

Eric Holder cleared that up. He's the Attorney General of "my people."

I never thought that. It was quite evident early on that that was indeed not the case.

So, just so we can get this and laugh in your face....he is going to lose in 2012? Yes or no.

Tank started a thread outside the race section? Wonder what its about?

While whites bicker over who's democrat or republican, people of color see two different kinds of groups.
