Could be wrong but what does a one legged man have to do with race?

I believe he is trying to tell you that you're getting squeezed in a quickly changing landscape and that as of now your party's constituency comprises of people who reside in the confederate state block.

...in other words...you're fcked if you don't adapt.

My bad. Didnt notice that second graph. Was looking at it on my iphone. The vote count did grow in those "confederate states". So they are adapting. No doubt though that race played a part in the election. Sad but true. Im by no means calling anybody on this site racist but they are out there. They want to point at Obamas failures to disguise their disgust with a black president. Bottom line is Obama got shot down alot by the house/ senate/ congress because alot of those republicans acted out of spite as opposed to reason. I hope they learned their lesson and work together this time in the name of progress.

Going to kill 3 birds with one stone here. First off, I never said that everybody who voted against Obama did so because they are racist. Otherwise, I would have to include myself in that statement since I didn't vote for Obama. (Johnson-white guy)

However, lets be real here. In the deep south, race plays a part. A huge part.

Nah....it's not about race one bit.

ps: FD, your 2004 graph still proves the other graph correct.

[MTK]

The race element is definitely out there. As someone who has spent some time in the deep south the past few years, I've heard it loud and clear with my own ears. To deny it's out there is just plain ignorant.

I loved Bill Maher's response to O'Reilly's retarded rant

O'Reilly just said people vote for Obama cuz they "want stuff", then cited blacks, Latinos and women. White men in US? TOTALLY SELF-RELIANT!

I wonder if 20 years ago a Mormon had a chance at the presidency. They are going through the 5 stages of grief but I am not hopeful they will emerge from it as more enlightened.

The only people who deny racism are those who've never encountered it. Yes, its not 1950 anymore, but it reminds me of the sketch from Family Guy (since I can't find the video, here's the transcript):

Cleveland: Thanks for including my Civil Rights boardgame in the game night rotation guys.
Lois: Oh, we're always happy to play "Two Decades of Dignity." It makes us all feel a little less guilty.
(Peter rolls dice and moves his gamepiece.)
Peter (reading off a gamecard): For whistling at a white woman, go directly to jail. Aww, man doesn't anyone ever win at this game?
Cleveland: You don't win. You just do a little better each time.
