30. And yet, 49 % did not.

Effectively equal. I just don't find threads like this helpful. It's campaigning FOR President Oink and the Repugs and I don't want to do that. After last night, it's clear as never before we have a real problem being framed out from large segments of voters for even considering us. It isn't all racism or Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, North Carolina, Florida et al wouldn't have elected Obama TWICE. There's many reasons not the least of which is the GOP's well-oiled propaganda network, but that's the reality. When you're outgunned and outmanned you have to be smart, and tarring white people, religious people and other majority segments of the electorate - particularly given this is NOT a parliamentary system and to hold the Senate and government we MUST reach these segments again.

May not be popular food for thought by there it is.

PS - it's not white voters so much as OLD white voters. And why didn't Latinas turn out in the numbers they should have? There's reasons for this but you have to be ready to have an open mind.

My thoughts, do as you will with them. Back to lurking.
