No, actually Al is assuming "racial voting" DOES continue. For Kerry is get near 45%, he will need near-universal support from black voters... over 90%.

Whites, on the other hand, are not nearly so driven by race...

"Racial voting" is actually something of an interesting subject, but it's wrong to see it as peculiar or unusual. Voting behavior is affected by sex, race, age, income, religion etc. but to varying degrees and for varying reasons.

I actually don't think the racial divide is influenced by 'racial' issues all that much. It's the same with religion... in 1960, it was speculated Kennedy's Catholicism would hurt him. He won 95% in South Carolina...

Party loyalty becomes a beast of it's own nature...

lol I meant Alfred Smith in 1928, my B. And it was a much bigger deal then.

Seven states have gone for both Catholic candidates... MA, RI, and the Deep South...

Yeah, but the 'Upper South' is less religious than the Deep South- and more prosperous. Smith lost the Upper South largely for economic reasons.

Keep in mind, I live in the Upper South... you're just a dork that looks at numbers all day for politics in a country you don't even reside in...

On the level of someone with a life? No, I think it's too late for that in your case.

Are you even British, or did you immigrate there from Africa or something?

Fair enough, but everything is relative...

Don't worry, it would be a quick debate and you would be on the losing side. Few years back I was one of the better debaters in the state of VA...

I'll take that as a yes. At least give me props for perception... then again, most communists in Britain are of foreign descent. Not Livingstone, of course...
