I was able to find some research on the subject of white voters' reactions to black candidates. From the Washington Post - April 14, 2006: "... white Republicans nationally are 25 percentage points more likely on average to vote for the Democratic senatorial candidate when the GOP...

Last election, there were 33 black republicans running for office in the 435 US congressional districts. 7.6% of all districts had a black Republican candidate.

You said, "Republicans vote along party lines as long as their candidate is white." You provide no evidence to support that statement. Please give recent specific examples or a recent statistical study. It's not the fault of Republicans if blacks choose not to run as Republicans. However...

Allen West, an African American, got almost 100% of the white Republican vote in his district last November. There's not a shred of recent evidence to support your statement.

I've never seen a single recent study that supports your statement. To the contrary, Allen West got almost 100% of the white Republican vote. That's why he won.

Thank you for proving my point. People vote along party lines.

How many African Americans run for office as Republicans? Very few. And when they do, they get virtually no white democratic votes. Are all the white democrats that voted against the black republican racists? By your definition, they are. Allen West, who is a black republican, got almost 100%...

Both Democrats and Republicans are more extreme than they've ever been in my lifetime. Both parties are owned by special interest groups and care about one thing and one thing only -- getting re-elected. I stopped voting for Dems and Repubs a long time ago.

Which right wingers are criticizing Obama regarding the bin Laden kill operation? No one. There aren't any. In fact, everyone offered congratulations except for the 2% conspiracy nuts. The criticism of Obama is only in regards to one thing: the post-operation communications. The White House...

Today's concepts of diversity are a result of political correctness and wishful thinking. If you really want to understand diversity, read the studies published by Harvard Professor Robert Putnam. This article summarizes some of his work...

This adminstration doesn't know when to talk and when to shut up. They're worse than the Bush administration when it comes to responding to FOIA requests regarding the EPA or labor policy, but they can't keep their mouths shut regarding a top-secret military operation. They should have simply...

Go to the BEST, most competitive graduate school you can get into. Compete head-to-head with the smartest people you can find. Develop your critical thinking skills and learn to criticize your own work before some fellow student asshole, or the professor, makes a complete fool of you in front...

If you have a deep and abiding interest in this subject, then you should read the work of Harvard Professor Robert Putnum. Try to get ahold of the orginal academic studies if you can. The article below is a summary of some of his work...

Very likely.

This short article is so full of errors, it's hard to believe any of it: 1. Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sader has been proven to be an unreliable source many times in the past. 2. Israel does not have F-22 aircraft. 3. Israel does not have F-18 aircraft. 4. The KC-10 is not a jet...

The next Presidential election will be decided by the economy. Nothing else. The most important thing on people's minds is JOBS. And that's what will determine the next election.

There's no logical reason for the Obama adminstration to fake bin Laden's death. A hoax like this would unravel within days. As was pointed out in a previous post, all bin Laden would have to do is make a video holding a newspaper dated after his "alleged" death. Bin laden is dead. Period.

You took one sentence out of an entire post and reached an incorrect conclusion. Please read the rest of the post and you'll see the larger point. ------------------------------------- The rest of my previous Post: "My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of...

You missed the point entirely. This isn't about Obama's grades, it's about the Obama administration preaching "openness" and "tranparency" and then being less open and less transparent than the previous administration. "The only people who don't want to disclose the truth are people with...

That statement was made jokingly, as was the rest of my original post. I don't believe the many rumors swirling around Obama, though I do believe that to some degree Obama brings it upon himself. For example: Why wouldn't a guy who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard release his academic...
