93% Of Democratic Senate Or Governor Candidates Are White

Does anyone believe rdean and company will accuse the Democrat party of being racist because of this?

93 of Democratic Senate or Governor Candidates Are White RedState

The last primaries ended last night, and down to defeat in the Rhode Island Governor’s race went Providence Mayor Angel Tavares, the last chance for the Democrats to nominate a Hispanic candidate for one of the two big statewide offices (Senate and Governor) – while Republicans will be running two Hispanic Governors for re-election, Democrats will not have a single Hispanic candidate heading a statewide ticket. We can revisit my analysis from May of the demographic breakdown of the Democrats’ statewide candidates, now that we have final results. In the 71 races they are contesting, 66 of the 71 candidates the Democrats are running (93%) are white, 56 of the 71 (79%) are male, and 53 of 71 (75%) are white males. That could spell trouble for the Democrats’ hopes of turning out a voting base that is disproportionately non-white and female. For all the Democrats’ rhetoric about race, they are running fewer non-white candidates than the Republicans are, and fewer in races they are seriously contesting.

Race By The Numbers

As distasteful as this sort of racial bean-counting is, it’s impossible to discuss the Democrats’ current political coalition and their voter-turnout operations without race, and so it is worth considering how that is reflected in their candidates for major office. There are 35 Senate races this fall, including a couple of special elections, and 37 Governors races. Republicans are running candidates in all 72. Democrats failed to contest one Senate race (Jeff Sessions is running unopposed in Alabama), and in two other races, the Kansas Senate race and the Alaska Governor’s race, their candidate withdrew (or attempted to withdraw) so the party could back a candidate running nominally as an independent (in Alaska, the Democrats’ candidate is actually running as the “independent” candidate’s running mate). For demographic purposes, I simply counted these latter two races as the Democrats running a white male, since their original candidates were white males and so are the nominal independents.​

That's an interesting case of color-blindness you have. Seems to come and go.

Yes the doles and mccains lose you elections....those spineless winders that you seem to love JS.

If the far right would support them from the start instead of acting like a buncha weepy willows, we would stand a chance.

If we nominate folks like a Perry or a Santorum, we won't get 43% of the vote.

In fairness to Republicans they are running Tim Scott for Senate in South Carolina and Mia Love for Congress in Utah

If they win there would be SEVEN blacks elected by Republicans in the last 100 years

So that would put it much higher than 93% I'm guessing...

For Senator and Governor, Republicans would be 98.6% White
Including the House they would be 99.6% White

That is pretty good for Republicans since they are usually 100% white in selecting candidates

Wow...99.6 down from 100...maybe the "autopsy" worked after all.

Diversity in the 113th Congress

While 94 percent of the U.S. Senate is white, 19% of the House of Representatives is made up of minority groups. There are 28 Hispanics serving in the House— 25 Democrats and three Republicans. The Senate is made up of 1% African American, I % Asian, 2% Hispanic, 2% not Stated, and 94% White. The House is made up of 9% African American, 25% Asian, 1% Japanese American, 1% Asian American, 5% not stated, and 77% White.

Republicans have elected six blacks to higher office in the last 100 years

That is all you need to know

Electing someone just because of their ethnicity or color means nothing.

Electing only six non whites over a hundred years proves something

Republicans will not vote for a black

Perhaps it proves that they don't run in our party? Perhaps because they choose not to? Perhaps you're just a race baiting piece of shit?

Where the **** is rderp to set the record straight with his 6% brain?

I don't know & I don't care. I'm not obsessed with the life or choices of others.

Get a grip

Yet minorities favor Dems over Reps. I guess they're not falling for the Reps saying "Hey I have black friends. Really"

Minorities are stuck on stupid voting Dem.

Seems odd that over one hundred years, only six blacks would choose to run as Republicans. Is there somethig about the party that keeps them away?

Way to win that minority vote!

Calling people stupid usually gets them to flock to your cause

So there are no Democrat Hispanics in the house, and most of the non-whites are Asians, who are the wealthiest ethnic group in the United States.

Yeah, that's diversity!

Lol I love it when cons pay attention to facts and statistics only when it benefits their ideology somehow. God forbid they pay attention to the ones that matter.

My response to this? So the **** what? Mostly white people run for office. This doesn't make either party racist.

So what if the statistics show that your party is racist? That's according to your own criteria.

Talk about being stuck on stupid
