"too long. do not resuscitate."?

this whole thread, and you're the only one who actually hit the nail on the head. let me guess, you spend the holidays doing tech support too?

that's why I started http://iedeathmarch.org/ six months ago.

At Wizards of the Coast, the conference rooms are named after places in Fantasy/SciFi Novels.

Just from that chart I linked, Carter lost it, 47% to Ford's 52% while winning the presidency.

The last time a Democratic candidate won the majority of the white vote was in Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, though I don't know what the break down was. President Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 as well as the Voting Rights Act.

While in the Senate, Johnson helped pass the Eisenhower's Civil Rights Act of 1960 established federal inspections and penalties for voter registration, precursor to LBJ's Voting Rights Act.

In the last 30 years, blacks have voted in the high 80th to low 90th percentile for the Democrats. With Obama outperforming Gore in that demographic by 5%.

In the same time period Obama has also outperformed previous Democrats for the white vote, in fact, Obama is tied for 2nd with Clinton behind Jimmy Carter in white vote percentage.

Implying all blacks voted along racial lines is bullshit, when in reality the racial line fell their way. It's akin to saying whites only voted for white presidents 43 out of 44 times, but whatever, keep your racist agenda up. The fortunate side effect of Obama drawing out all the racists, is at least they're out of the closet and can be summarily ridiculed.

Compared to Gore (because he was the last democrat to win the popular vote) in 2000, Obama won 5% more blacks, and 5% more hispanics, 8% more asians, and 1% more whites. Tell me again who's voting along the race line?

In 2000, Gore had 42% to Bush's 56% of white voters (and if you recall, Gore won the popular vote).
In 1996, Clinton won with 42% to Dole's 46% of the white vote.
In 1992, Clinton won with 39% to Bush's 40% (and Perot's 20%) of the white vote.

What I'm saying here is that the media isn't reporting something that isn't newsworthy. The Democrats have lost the white vote since at least 1972.

You leave out the part where Obama performed better among white voters 43% to 41% than John Kerry in 2004.

VistaRunsSlow knelt and sifted the sand of the arena through his fingers. The sand mixed with the blood on his hands forming a dull red paste. He knew he probably wouldn't live to see the day's end.

Throughout the day the battle in the SlashArena had been fierce - many had fallen before him, including some of his beloved brothers in arms: Cluster Beowulf, the great Russian InSoviet, 123Profit!, and yes, even his beloved brother CrysisRunSlow. One by one he had seen them beaten to death for the mere amusement of the crowd. It didn't even seem like they enjoyed the spectacle, but were duly observing the match like some kind of gruesome ritual. There was no honor here! Only death, and pain. Is this what they wanted to see? Did this actually amuse them? VistaRunsSlow could not see how. Already today he had fought 385 battles, and not one ModTrophy to call his own. It was like he didn't exist - his life had little purpose than to fill the arena with mindless content.

No matter - the time was before him. He slowly rose to his feet, to the quiet murmor of the crowd. PhasmatisApparatus approached him, shield in hand, grinning from ear to ear. There was no hint of subtleness in his eyes, no mirth, no telling glance that someone of nobleness approached him. VistaRunsSlow could only pray for an end to the merciless beating - a quick death, that was the best this day could afford him. Yet still, if he could, he would fight on. This day he would live proud - this day a joke would not die in vain!

just look at tupac! he's been releasing albums and he's been dead for 10 years. I wonder what his take is on this.
