Wow, now this poll is interesting. NObama not carrying the whitey vote
Posted by admin in UncategorizedTwo-thirds of whites who cite race would not vote for Obama in general election.
A confluence of groups inclined toward Hillary Clinton gave her an easy victory in the West Virginia primary, with less-educated, lower-income whites predominating in this Southern state.
In a trouble sign for delegate-leader Barack Obama, barely more than half said they’d vote for him in November if he’s the party’s nominee.
The Race Factor
Racially motivated voting ran somewhat higher than elsewhere: Two in 10 whites said the race of the candidate was a factor in their vote, second only to Mississippi. Just 32 percent of those voters said they’d support Obama against John McCain, fewer than in other primaries where the question’s been asked.
I was talking to a friend a few months ago, and his grandfather is a died-in-the-wool Democrat, around 80 if I recall correctly. He stated, and I paraphrase, “there’s no way I could vote for a %$#@ or a $#@%.
The sentiment illustrated above crosses all lines, economic, education, social, etc, but rings true with the older voters. Some people just cannot bring themselves to vote for the *chosen* democratic nominee, considering their race or gender.

Forty-nine percent of voters thought that at least to some extent he shares the views of his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright
Go Jeremiah!
Fifty-one percent doubted Obama’s honesty and trustworthiness..
AH… nice – AWB

Today’s paper had a story about Obama canvassers in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvaina…and the “results” of going door-to-door….interetsing, if not plain funny.
And that county is 98% white.
B.G.
It doesn’t appear like either candidate will be able to beat McCain. A lot of people in the Democratic party that oppose a candidate are saying they won’t vote for them in the general election if they win whether it be Hillary or Obama.
It would have been wiser if they would have elected a nominee that was more moderate. Hillary and Obama are just to the right of Marx. They are doomed to failure.
