This is just HUGE.


North Dakota one of the most white states in the country --- Obama wins over 60%


Idaho ---- Obama wins 80%


Utah---- 55%

Kansas ---- Obama 70% and county

Minnesota----- more than 60% and counting.



Every time, he wins southern states dominated by blacks, media and clinton supporters cry that he is playing the race card and everyone implies that he can't win white vote.

Why isn't anyone saying that he won supermajority in extremely white states and that he isn't 'just a black candidate'.

Considering the percentage of black people that are voting for him, I think you would have to say that the white voters are less prejudiced than the black voters. I hope within my lifetime, we will stop worrying about what race a person is.

I think in Georgia blacks voted 88% for Obama. Whites were fairly evenly split.

The fact is that the states you mentioned have a very low percentage of African-Americans so it's not even an issue. Votes are votes; some don't count more than others.

AA are voting for him because they believe in his message and political stance
1. Like the war which majority AA opposed from the start
2. Health care reform
3. Common sense in government that works for the people and not special interests

Hillary lost respect coming out of SC. Its her character not race dude.....

I think people are voting against Hillary because they couldnt stand to see Bill back at the WH, so Obama is getting extra votes that he normally wouldnt get if billy boy would have stayed home and his mouth shut.

I agree too, but what you see is the same people who whine about race are now using it to push him and his chances.
Then if he doesnt get the nomination you will see them go right back to saying he wasnt given a fair chance.
