SmittyParticipant“10% of Democratic governors are female while 13.8% of Republican governors are female.”
“5% of Democratic governors are minorities while 13.8% of Republican governors are minorities.”
I hate facts.

JanSParticipantlooking at those maps, Smitty, I can only conclude that it’s a man’s world. Obviously, we need more women governors, no matter their race or party affiliation !
September 1, 2012 at 5:56 pm #769116
SmittyParticipantTrue.
But sometimes I get the feeling that people won’t be happy until we have:
50% female
63.7% White
16.3% Hispanic
12.6% African-American
4.8% Asian
2.6% Other
(and 2% or 10% gay – depending on who you believe……)

kootchmanMemberNo Smitty, I have an easier solution… minority hermaphrodites … we can double or even triple count them in the statistical base. we need to step up the recruiting.

JVMemberAs some point, the left will realize that the middle/independents/undecided voters aren’t hung up on race, and they aren’t buying this crap.
Then the Dims will have to start competing in the arena of ideas. Which will be a sad day for those who are predicting an Obama win by 6 points!!

JanSParticipantJV…seems you’re the one hung up on race. How many times and ways do we have to say…whatever race you are, be honest, be compassionate, vote intelligently. Yes…looking at those statistics there is an imbalance in “power”. We need to fix that. How? Damned if I know.

kootchmanMemberVote the Double “R”
September 2, 2012 at 10:28 am #769123
EdSaneParticipantThe complaint against the Republican party is not that they don’t elect people of color. It is that they (voters/members) are primarily white. As shown by RNC coverage. Or the 61% “white vote” Romney needs to eek out a popular vote win (its gonna be down to the electoral college in my opinion). Or the constant pandering to the tea party movement (primarily white). Can’t you guys differentiate the candidate from the voting block? (almost forgot the voter suppression in key states to silence minorities and the elderly, making the “white” vote all that more important)
September 3, 2012 at 12:13 am #769124
kootchmanMemberwhat if white voters voted 98% for white candidates? Would that be racist? Black votes and voters are less relevant as a campaign bloc. Of course it going to be the electoral votes.. has been since the founding of the republic. There is no voter suppression,… it ‘s another one of those sing song chants… Democrats have to chant. They are neither true, or have any effect. It’s the same wrench out of the sam tool box… everyone, everywhere, is being suppressed by a bid meanie … if you want to vote, register. Of course the TEA Party is primarily white.. so is the Democratic Party.

EdSaneParticipantKootchman are you really going to be so dismissive of 13% of the population. They’re not relevant? I feel like I’m living in one of Bill Maher’s “Bubble” sketches…Also, my reference to the electoral college was the point that Romney if he does win the election is unlikely to win the popular vote. And just for laughs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuOT1bRYdK8

miwsParticipantFellow Dems; who’s in with me for a “neener neener” chant, when Obama is re-elected?
Neener neener flash mob?

kootchmanMemberWe will see .. the DNC end on Thursday… the unemployment stats come out Friday. Nothing will deflate their “bump” faster than that cold water. If this is the “new” 21st century economy… deficits, unemployment, expanding entitlements … it won’t last long. Are you posing with a Democratic economist miws? Yea… I am dismissive of the black voting bloc… they are not republican core constituents… I am more concerned with the Latino bloc. would you spend money, time and energy on a voting bloc that votes 95 per cent of time along racial lines? It’s a captive democratic bloc. It’s been conceded.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
That’s what we are fighting for.. the five per cent undecided.. and after four years of this administration… undecideds are not satisfied with the current administration… they are looking for a reason to switch. The undecideds can break republican.. they are white suburbanites…
You’ve got 11 swing states all won by Obama… up from five… that are dead even or Romney is leading. JOBS … JOBS… JOBS… the number one concern of undecideds, followed by deficits.
In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney now attracts 46% of the vote, while President Obama earns 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided. In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.
And… now Obama has to defend an 11 front war.. not 5…. and Republicans have far far more money to spend… we are going to stretch him so far out with his limited war chest… we will be carpet bombing while he is cookie dusting. NOW the big money starts to count.

kootchmanMemberBTW…. this tells the story…
During August, 37.6% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That’s up from 34.9% in July and 35.4% in June. It’s also the largest number of Republicans ever recorded by Rasmussen Report since monthly tracking began in November 2002. That’s a 10 year high,… and higher than the number of Republicans that overturned the Democratic House in 2010.
Ir’s a point by point claw… but.. no matter which way you slice the polls… Obama is losing… five states went from leans Democrate to leans Republican in the last three months… Obama’s core is falling…
The battleground is suburbia… again,

kootchmanMemberThis is going to be funny. Clinton was on the receiving end of Obama and it is funny and ironic the Big Dawg is going to have to be the one to save his presidency. How humbling is that going to be?
Clinton, if the thirty second ads are an indication, will be defending the tax and regulatory policies of Obama? Clinton who signed the two job exporting legislations, NAFTA and China’s Most Favored Nation trade status.. Redblack can focus only on “Clinton raised taxes the economy boomed”.. ha ha ha he did a lot more than that!
Among his biggest strokes of free-wheeling capitalism was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, a cornerstone of Depression-era regulation
He also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation.
In 1995 Clinton loosened housing rules by rewriting the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods.
All of these things simply ignored by the Democrats. Or, worse, simply denied. Lots of blather about the horrible big banks, and the 1%… it was your federal government that gave Wall Street the green light. Now.. in a true tour d’ force of stupidity, we have Dodd Frank… which amongst other things.. has crushed regional banks, with the big 5 having even greater market share since the financial collapse. Clinton gave the green light for banks to loan like hell into bad credit markets. No risk, no restraint. Want banks to behave? Don’t underwrite bad behavior. DItto the trillion dollars in student loans…the government has assumed all the risk and has politics at the top of the agenda… we will assuredly be bailing that program out too… printing more T Bills.
Has it not occured to anyone on the left…. maybe the federal government should not be making loans, or underwriting the risk?
