Reply #61: The twenty percent figure is consistent with others

Where the pastor is probably incorrect is his assumption that half of these individuals are registered voters (how does he know?) and most assuredly incorrect is in the assumption that all of these voters will vote Republican (they won't -- Kerry got nearly a quarter of these voters). The total number of voters in play here is probably something on the order of 15 million. A sizeable number, but they're concentrated in the most heavily Red States -- which is pretty much what makes them Red States to begin with.

And given the racist, backwood country fuck nature of this constituency, they'll vote for an African American right after the winged monkeys fly out my butt.
