Randall Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Obama just took Georgia. 4 out of 10 white voters in the deep south? That's pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShiznit Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 4 out of 10 white voters in the deep south? That's pretty impressive. 4.3!!! LOL But as figured, only 26% of those over age 60. There is still some old racism inherent in that generation....and yes, that is my father who will NOT vote for Obama simply based on his color.

Each generation sees the person over color a little more. There is a lot of old racism. Many don't hate other races as much of fear of what they will do. Changing takes many generations. I've been in some towns that are all white and didn't know any other races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I still wouldn't trust him in an empty room with my car stereo. Good point. We'd need a white VP to make sure he isn't pocketing stuff from the White House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I've seen different totals so far for who has more delegates. I guess it depends on which campaign you're listening to. Politico.com has 908 for Obama, 884 for Clinton. CNN has Clinton ahead, but it seems like they're still tallying delegates.

Cunning Runt Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I've seen different totals so far for who has more delegates. I guess it depends on which campaign you're listening to. Politico.com has 908 for Obama, 884 for Clinton. CNN has Clinton ahead, but it seems like they're still tallying delegates. I think the discrepancy stems from two sources. The first is how the delegates are awarded per state - not every state is the same. It can be possible to win the popular vote in a state and not win the majority of delegates - depends on where the votes actually came from within those states. The second is what's called a "super-delegate". I'm not quite sure how these work, but they were referenced quite a bit on the news last night. They seem to be awarded more by the party than through the actual election process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdelegates are unpledged and can vote for whomever they want. They consist of congressmen, governors, other officials, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Why not? McCain isn't so conservative (according to many conservatives). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there's not going to be an easy answer at democrat this election season. I'm guessing that the republicans would rather face Hillary than Obama because she seems more beatable. Assuming McCain gets the republican nomination, Obama would pose a larger threat to traditional republican states in the south. I don't even think McCain's choice at running mate would make much difference in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
