1. According to the BCCI Report, In 1996
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:11 AM by prodn2000
In 1996,

He won 43% of white voters

Majorities in the 18-29 & 65+ demos and pluralities in the others.

54% of women.

Majorities in those making 0-15K and 15K-30K annually

Pluralities in those making 30K-50K and 50K-75K.

Majorities in NO High School, High School Grad, and Post-College Grads, pluralities in the others except for 4-Year degree. He lost that demo to Dole.

4. BCCI report was deep-sixed by Bill by 1996 and throughout the 90s - you must be mistaken.
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:22 AM by blm
But then - the actual answer to your post is.... that YOU HAVE NEVER READ THE BCCI REPORT and are completely unaware of how its matters led to 9-11 and our oil region policies, so your only recourse is to trivialize it in hopes that others would get a laugh out of one of our nation's greatest case of corrupt government and the cause of one of its greatest national tragedies.

13. Then you don't know me very well. I USE opportunities to keep the truth forward
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:51 AM by blm
and since BCCI is one of the greatest coverups that wellknown Dems helped protect BushInc's agenda at every turn, then what DUTIFUL CITIZEN wouldn't want those truths maintained in the public arena?

"on rant' is for those folks uncertain of how to deal with their duties as a citizen in an effective way.

I repeat truth in a steady, consistent way and let the chips fall where they may. Period.

2. Demo crats ,must win over d40% of Blue Collar Vote in order
to win General Elections. I cannot state a specific number but
I heard Ron Brownstein say the other day that B. Clinton carried
over 40% and is only Democrat to win the Presidency since Carter.

10. Obama will improve that number to 92%. And hopefully up the turnout BIG TIME.
Of course, Kerry got a lot of work done on that. Now we just need to expand the numbers registered, and make sure they have ID in places like GA.

12. I've seen a range of stats, from 86% up to 90% from different sources
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:44 AM by TragedyandHope
I've also seen one that said Bush got %14, so high 80s-90% seems reasonable.

Point being, we need both sides of the equation. Hillary only emphasizes the numbers of one specific group that appears to show she has an advantage at the moment. That's not a winning strategy.

14. There was rampant election fraud by the RNC in both 2000 and 2004, so those numbers should be even
Edited on Thu May-08-08 11:55 AM by blm
higher for both Gore and Kerry.

And with the new DNC that is actually working FOR the Dem party and its nominee and not just servicing the Clinton agenda, I believe the RNC will FINALLY have their vote suppression tactics countered.

15. Thank you for this. In light of this info...
I wonder what the big deal is about Obama getting 90% of the black vote.
