Does the share of the black vote Democrats receive in general elections worry you?

[ButterflyBlood]

Because it's similar to what Obama gets in primaries. I'd never thought I'd see the day when Democrats would complain about blacks voting the way they wish which happens to favor one way, but it's also quite hypocritical considering Hillary Clinton would be nowhere if her husband wasn't supported by blacks over the first Bush and Dole as much as Obama is being supported by them now. Oh, and how did blacks vote in recent New York Senate races?

1. What kind of thread title is that? n/t

:wtf:

[ButterflyBlood]

3. Hey, it's not different from the Hillbots whining

Complaining about how it's "wrong" that Obama gets the percentage of the black vote that he does.

[blogslut]

2. I'm worried about voter disenfranchisement

And those cheating machines.

As for the black turnout, I say: YES!

5. bingo, slut

17. OMG, LOL!!!!!!!

I was confused why you said BINGO, then called the poster a slut. Had to look up to see the name. :rofl:

4. "Only vote as a bloc when we tell you to!!"

It really is condescending to complain about blacks voting as a unified bloc in a primary when the Democrats rely on them voting as a unified bloc in the primary.

6. I worry about the voting machines.

It's evident that Democrats will turn out in multitude. There could be all kinds of voting irregularities.

7. No. They're American votes. Americans voting never bothers me.

I loathe those snarky CNN stories using the underlying premise that black votes somehow distort the results of the "real voters."

[Whisp]

8. erm... NO. why should it worry me? nt

[Bucky]

10. (Pssst, because they're Neee-groes. No! Don't look over at 'em; they'll see you staring!)

9. It kept me up all night

[Bucky]

11. A couple of times it's kept me up all night

dancing at victory parties

13. Good one!

:thumbsup:

12. The bottom line. If black voters are passionate and are getting out the vote

The Republicans would be a party of the past. They would never win anything. Gore would have won and Kerry would have won. I think their excitement and passion this yr is a huge story. If they keep this up. Say goodbye to the Republican party

14. delete

[Alexander]

15. Yeah. It's too high. If Hillary's nominated that will change.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously, I agree with your OP 100%.

[Skittles]

16. no

I only worry about their votes getting counted

[AtomicKitten]

18. Why would I worry about it? It's fabulous.

The object of the game is to get people off their kiesters to vote, and Barack Obama is bringing voters out in droves all across the country.

[TexasObserver]

19. I worry every election about every demographic we need to win. Not just % of voters, GOTV %

Without our black friends, we are a party that couldn't win half the seats we hold in congress. We couldn't win the presidency. Blacks are the most loyal Democratic voters we have, and I both thank them and honor them.
