What is up with this racial divide? |
|
Blacks overwhelmingly for Kerry and whites for Edwards?

13. Wonder how much of that white male vote |
|
is Republicans voting crossover, possibly in hopes of sabotaging Democratic chances in the election.

3. Blacks made great gains under Clinton |
|
They have suffered under Bush
Do you think they are voting for the front runner because they are desperate to have a Democrat in the White House?

5. It depends largely on endorsements... |
|
...in South Carolina, Clyburn delivered a lot of the black vote for Kerry.
...in Maryland, Al Wynn will deliver a lot of the black vote for Edwards. Elijah Cummings will offset some of that though.
...In Georgia, John Lewis will be a big boost for Kerry.

White southerners want one of their own and blacks want one that's not their own??? I don't know. Sure seems to validate that there is some sort of race problem in the south though.

9. The death penalty may be a factor. It's racist and Kerry is better. |
|
Kerry's not as good as Dennis or Sharpton but he's better than Edwards.

10. Well it's because blacks are mostly Democrats and (D)s went lrgly for JK |
|
Edwards is picking up a lot of rethuglicans and independents who voted for the flag referendum who'd probably vote for bush anyway in the GE.
