Look... The Problem With Hillary Is, That We Will Get 8 More Years Of Obama/Status Quo...

128. I always loved that phrase

"with all due respect"

meaning, of course, with NO respect, since none is due.

You seem to be misunderstanding me.

Obama lost the county by
11,072 to 16,825 to 923 total 28,820
the Congressional Democratic candidate lost by
8,720 to 17,615 to 2,495 total 28,830
I lost the county by
9,664 to 17,606 total 27,270 with 1,560 voting "none of the above"

Thus, at least 1,408 county voters (and maybe more, depending on how many Romney voters I picked up) voted for Obama AND they voted for my Republican opponent and also for a Republican Congressperson. At least 2,352 voted for Obama but NOT for the Democrat running for Congress.

Although now that I look it up, I thought I came closer to Obama's total. Black voters were, at most, 15% of the total, or about 4,300 voters.

And I expect that MOST of them, by far, voted for me. Probably 80% of them are registered Democrats. Some though are Republicans, or independents.

I know that, again, because at our caucus organization meeting in 2008 some black people at that meeting talked about the need to change registration from independent to Democrat in order to caucus.

Again, I am personally aware, from experience, that some black people who claimed to be lifelong Republicans were supporting Obama in 2008. If it is 20% that could be about 800 voters who crossed party lines to vote for Obama. That could explain 800 of the 1,400.

And hell, when I wrote my earlier posts I would have guess that Obama beat me by 600. That's how I remembered it.

1,408.

TANJ. That kinda stings.

But at least I beat Schlingensiepen by almost 1,000.
