Likely Dem Voters Nationwide

Black: Obama 81% Clinton 7%
White: Clinton 50% Obama 39%

Women: Clinton 51% Obama 40%
Men: Obama 60% Clinton 28%

so you can look at those stats and tell me that it's not Obama advantage black.... Obama advantage men... Obama is cashing in on the both the racist AND the sexist vote... it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with him, that it's the ONLY consideration or that I'm a bigot or a racist... it's a fact... and in this particular election cycle those facts are working in Obama's favor.

It is also a very good way to take the focus off the demands for the Clintons to release their tax returns and her White House papers.

Spitzer's tax returns are what sparked investigations into his finances and activities.

What are the Clinton's trying to postpone being exposed until it is too late?

clinton has a small lead with whites and women... obama has a huge lead with blacks and men....

Florida recount study: Bush still wins

Study reveals flaws in ballots, voter errors may have cost Gore victory

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A comprehensive study of the 2000 presidential election in Florida suggests that if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a statewide vote recount to proceed, Republican candidate George W. Bush would still have been elected president.

The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago conducted the six-month study for a consortium of eight news media companies, including CNN.........

Yes exactly. And, the person with the most votes is the one who gets the nomination.

But how many Dem party voters are black vs. women? The advantage with women translates to way more votes than does the advantage with blacks. The quantity of the vote advantage is what counts, is it not?

A consortium of newspapers conducted their own Florida recount after Bush took office.

Extensive effort and numerous scenarios showed Bush winning in every case.

But I still hear delusional Dems (including Hillary very recently) claiming Gore was the rightful winner.

As with any large-scale study, the NORC data is subject to some important limitations.

NORC reported serious problems with record keeping at many local election offices. NORC relied on these offices to produce the rejected ballots, but county officials were unable to deliver as many as 2,200 problem ballots to NORC investigators.

Although trained to produce accurate, impartial reports, the NORC investigators are human and prone to human judgment and error. In particular, NORC discovered that male investigators were more likely to record marks on ballots than women. NORC also found a slight but statistically significant relationship between candidate marks and the investigators' party affiliation.

Most importantly, there is no guarantee that the judgments of the NORC investigators would have matched those of local election boards had the recount been permitted to proceed under any scenario.

I can see the republican slime machine doing great damage to his homey image. And the more the Obamites cry the more Ill enjoy it.

You think so. Well enjoy.

Well, actually it's the most delegates.

Hopefully all those superdelegates will swing towards Clinton (maybe some regular delegates too).

If Obama, whose talents are undeniable, was a white man then no, I do not believe we would be seeing the outpouring of black voters we see now. Go ahead and call me a racist and I'll laugh about it and you'll feel like you've elevated yourselves to the high road somehow.

From the article....if you read it all.

When you're talking a few hundred votes, and when you consider all the mentioned caveats and possibilities....it's hardly a conclusive airtight result.
