The painful task of measuring racism
A small percentage of the population won't vote for a black presidential candidate, but we don't know how small.
Steve Benen [2008-04-22]

  • Not just Whites, either

    About 14% of the US Population is Hispanic. Almost 5% of the poulation is Asian.

    They're each gonna have a hard time voting for a black guy, 'cause of all the animosity and rivalry between the groups.

    So if Hispanics have a choice between a black DEM, and a white Republican who wants to give them amnesty, Obama could easily lose CA's 54 electoral votes. Then it doesn't matter how well Barack does in MS or VA.

    IMHO
