Reagan got about 66% among whites in 1984. Romney's is going to be quite a few points lower than that.

Luckily the white majority in America is rapidly decreasing. Europe will soon be the only place in the world with large white majorities, and that's a socialist hell to white supremacist Republicans so they can't even flee there! Finally they'll feel the misery they've inflicted on others for generations.

I pretty sure people like that would feel at home in certain places of Switzerland, Austria or Northern Italy.

The thing is that Obama didn't have this problem in 2008.

This thread needs to be killed with fire.

Btw, serious note, this doesn't bode well for the future, does it?

If he'd actually been successful, it would have.

Why are talking in the past tense? This is bizarre, even for you.

Well, he had 3 1/2 years to be successful.  I take it you don't think we are actually in 2009 (though the numbers are not much better).

Again, only two of those polls have a 20% or greater lead for Romney. If it's 55-37, the vote will likely be along the lines of 58-40, or slightly more Republican than 2004.

Romney is like Reagan, at least in the sense that he has a lot of trouble remembering things.

It's called mittzheimer.

It is strange that many of the white-dominated countries are more advanced than the rest of the 3rd world. 

The anglo-European educational system and culture is far more advanced than other countries, particularly with technology and industrial development. 

I find it strange that Germany is always seen as the strongest economic country in Europe.  Even today, it is better off than the rest of Southern Europe.  Is Germany still a majority white country?

If someone has a white mother and a black father or a black mother and
a white father: is this person counted as a "white" voter or a "black" voter?



In the states, it would be the one drop rule. So they'll be considered black

14% unemployment amongst blacks under Obama, yet they continue worship at the alter of Obama.

When are blacks going to learn the Dems are only taking advantage of them, feeding them propaganda of how good they have it under the Dems, and the sad part is, they believe it.

Such a pity for Romney the electorate isn't the same as 1984...

Because a lot of them have memories back to the Reagan era...

Cuz Republicans did such a great job for the Black people in the past decades.

We only have to worry about one that is ruining the county.  Smiley

Seriously, you just posted about Obama trying increase black turnout.  Why is racist to complain about Romney's base turning out, and cheer Obama's base turning out, when they are both based on race?
