For Obama, hurdles in expanding black vote

#1) Expand? They already have like 89% of that demographic.
#2)
" If 95 percent of black voters support Obama in November, in line with a recent Washington Post-ABC News national poll, he can win Florida if he increases black turnout by 23 percent over 2004"

I can't believe we are actually talking about demographics well into the 95 percentile. Amazing.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

It would be absurd to think that anyone could increase any demographics turnout by 23%.

Just like the "liberal" media to wring their hands and wonder why the 200 black conservatives in this country aren't voting for Obama.

Hey, its just b.s. The media has a vested, economic interest in tweaking the narrative of this election, so it seems like a battle between two equally competent titans of the american political system. Their ratings do better when there is a perception of a close horse race.

Do you think they're actually going to report the truth, that we have a doddering, senile 92 year old man who repeatedly makes gaffes and appears on the verge of alzheimers, running for the most powerful and demanding office in the world?

I think you hit the nail on the head there.
