You ARE a liar, AND a fool. Of COURSE you didnt conduct the poll you are too stupid to even UNDERSTAND the poll. It doesnt make the claim you say it makes MORON.</description>

		<description>Ralph, 

This is -more or less- how Twacy&#039;s math &amp; &quot;logic&quot; works:

some = 1/3
less likely = won&#039;t

I am not sure how &quot;some&quot; became 1/3, as opposed to, say, 20% or even 9%, but there you have it. 

I guess &lt;i&gt;threesome&lt;/i&gt; in Tracyspeak means 90% ;-)</description>

		<description>I was right. Nuances of language are lost on Tracist.

I guess it really didn&#039;t take 200-plus posts to determine that, though, did it? But it was entertaining, wasn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>Since Rush pulls facts right out of his ass and he used his ass as an excuse to avoid the draft, should we just refer to him as an Assy-American. 
Or maybe a Gluteal-Maxican?</description>

		<description>Tracy__5 babbles: &lt;i&gt;Obama is black and the article title say what it says. &lt;/i&gt;

Indeed. And what it &lt;i&gt;doesn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; say is this: &quot;1/3 of white Democrats won’t vote for Obama because of the color of his skin&quot;. 

&lt;i&gt;over what you and others here think they ment.&lt;/i&gt;

Are you trying to tell us you are the only one here who actually knows what the title &lt;i&gt;actually&lt;/i&gt; meant? Who are you? Miss Cleo?</description>

		<description>Apparently the poll said that 1/3rd of white democrats hold some negative views of African-Americans.

This is totally different from saying they will not vote for an African-American.  They might prefer Malcom X over four more years of this disaster we are in.

Also this same 1/3rd of white Democrats might not see any of those negatives in Barack Obama.  They might think of him as  making an excellent president.  Obama is leading by 4-5% now and after the Palin bump goes completely away and people realize the many TRILLIONS of dollars the Repubs have cost us, maybe he wins by 9-10%.</description>

		<description>Actually, backup, that was Ralph&#039;s point. Tracy has been trying to argue against that...

But thanks for agreeing that Tracy makes no sense.</description>

		<description>ralph the wonder llama Says: &lt;i&gt;Why did none of the white male candidates reap the benefits of all of this prejudice and sweep to victory?&lt;/i&gt;

Watch the troll&#039;s head explode by the sheer cognitive dissonance.... them come back to life -like a weed- to repeat the same gibberish he&#039;s been parroting for the last few hours.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I”t’s hard to imagine that Obama would have won the Democratic primary if one-third of the party electorate was out of play for him from the start.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Tracy makes a good point here.  If whites won&#039;t vote for Obama, how did he get the Democratic nomination?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;In other words, blacks have a much more extensive record of voting for white candidates than whites have of voting for blacks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

ralph.  I can&#039;t argue your point, but I imagine that you would concede there hasn&#039;t been much opportunity for whites to build an extensive record of voting for blacks.  Especially nationally.

I&#039;m open to your point about blacks voting consistently in the 90&#039;s for democrats.  I think that situation is different than if whites are altering their voting habits based on Obama&#039;s race.  I&#039;m agreeing with you.

It&#039;s difficult for me to believe that it will significantly effect the outcome.  I try to be objective, but I do think Obama&#039;s race could influence me.  Only for this reason:  we&#039;ve had forty and change white presidents, and a history of discrimination.  I have to admit that I believe an Obama presidency (regardless of his ideology) might beneficially  address past racial barriers to power and help quell some of the disenfranchisement of those that haven&#039;t had more equal representation at a national level.  It&#039;s hard for me to believe that I am alone in that sentiment.  If that is the case, Obama&#039;s race may not be the liability that the AP poll suggests.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Tracy__5 Says:

&lt;em&gt;It’s hard to imagine that Obama would have won the Democratic primary if one-third of the party electorate was out of play for him from the start.”&lt;/em&gt;

Maybe they are even more biased towards women.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Let&#039;s see if I get this straight... Democratic primaries and caucuses set records for voter turnout, and routinely squashed Republican turnout. The two leading vote-getters were a black American and a white woman.

Yet Tracist suggests that reason Obama won the nomination, even though a full one-third of the electorate refused to vote for him because of his skin color, was because the Democratic Party is &quot;even more biased towards women&quot;.

Leaving aside the obvious misstatement (he must have meant &quot;biased &lt;em&gt;against&lt;/em&gt; women&quot;, right? Otherwise why would that explain her loss?) how does that explain the result? Why did none of the white male candidates reap the benefits of all of this prejudice and sweep to victory?

Tracy, this can&#039;t even make sense &lt;em&gt;to you&lt;/em&gt;. Can it?</description>
