Using the "adjusted" exit poll figures, I ran a simulated election that excluded white males. Under that scenario Kerry wins 54%-45%. When I performed this simulation after the 2000 election Al Gore won 56%-40%. For a Democrat to be assured of victory they need at least a 15% victory among non-white males and white women.

1. That makes sense
Edited on Thu Dec-09-04 04:44 AM by Carolab
if you're a white male. Well I hope all the "white males" enjoy the revolt from all their wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, etc. etc. as they try to ram their dark ages style of "corporate greed" and "me-first" power style down everyone else's throats. I guess they can always buy sexual favors, though, or maybe a wife from Russia looking for a ticket to the good ole land of opportunity. HA!

2. Have you been able to check this data for earlier elections,
for instance '96 or '92, when the Democrat won - and actually took office?

3. Sickening..............
that I happen to be one of the democraphic in question. White males in this country are to this day, Neanderthal, Testosterone driven sheep that have an outdated idea of what a "real man is". Sometimes I'm really ashamed to be a White Male, no kidding.

4. Whites are 70% of the voting base of which half are male. . .
. . . so I ask this question. How are you going to ignore the white male voter? Please get real. Howard Dean addressed this issue during the democratic primaries and wanted to embrace the white male voter. Although I certainly don't agree with the political positions of many white male voters, especially those with "the confederate flag decals on their pick-up trucks", the white male voter has to be included in any discussion between now and the 2008 presidential election. Howard Dean has a plan to do just that, so I'll listen.

5. "White males" is really the only group of voters....
that gets tended and catered to.......I don't give a flying fig about the Neatherthals in the group...never did, never will. They obviously don't give a damn about anybody else.

8. Neatherhals have had a bum rap all these years...
...they were actually quite human and in many ways much more socialized than modern homo sapiens. Now, cro-magnon man were perhaps much more brutish and aggressive and I think that many modern white males are regressing back to cro-magnon in the evolutionary scale.

Cro-Magnons
Approximately 35 000 years ago, cro-magnons, moved into the Neanderthal region of what is today known as France. Within the time from 35 000 - 10 000 years ago the evolution of art and technological innovations becomes apparent. Cro-magnons used paints composed from manganese and iron oxides to paint the walls and ceilings of their caves through-out what is today called France and Spain. Many of these beautiful paintings have been preseved and can still be seen. During the seasonal migration of herds, the Cro-magnons used cunning hunting skills and tools to kill their prey. They managed to develop extremely advanced tools for hunting (possibly even a bow and arrow). The Cro-magnon dwelled primarily in caves or rock shelters in groups. (Wicander and Monroe 1993)

6. I disagree. Your logic is faulty. Here's why.
Of every 100 voters:
10 are black.
Kerry wins 9.

8 are hispanic.
Kerry wins 5.

82 white
Kerry wins 38

Kerry's total 52%.

7. Considering that's almost half of the electorate
the premise at the very least is goofy

11. White male voter suppression!
I'd gladly give up my vote for that result.
