When Obama wins, I hope it's the Latino vote that puts him over the top... |
|
... just because I want to see Lou Dobbs' reaction :)

1. I HOPE it's the youth vote! I'm an old lady now, but all my life, |
|
in every election, the talking heads always say the youth NEVER show up at the polls to actually VOTE! I'd like to see all the damn talking heads have to eat those words FINALLY!

2. Do you think his head will finally explode? He should probably |
|
get a really good physical before election day, just to make sure he's not in any danger of a heart attack or a stroke. Because that is surely what will happen when Obama wins if there is the slightest thing wrong with old Lou's health.

3. Well in raw numbers it may very well be but I think that the exit polls |
|
...and general statistics which will come out will show that the largest percentage of votes cast for each candidate will be segmented by racial origin and in Obama's case he will get the overwhelming percentage of African American votes followed by a high percentage of Hispanic votes of African decent.
Now I hope that Obama will win a majority across ALL ethic origin groups across America, but I am seeing and hearing racial polarization here in Florida. In addition women who came out strong for Hillary in the primary are now uncertain about Obama. I hope Obama and the democrats can turn that by November to make this election a landslide victory and mandate for Obama and the democratic party.

4. I hope it's not close enough for any group to put him over the top |
|
Anything closer than 70%-30% will be a disappointment.

5. How can one really pick which groups puts a candidate over the top? |
|
If we lived in a small town, and candidate A got 45 votes for dog catcher, 13 coming from Blacks, 17 from Whites, and 15 from Hispanics, beating candidate B (who got 44 votes), who put A over the top?
