I'm predicting an Obama landslide

[MohdSalleh]

Obama will definitely win..as the demographics favor him.

let's see, by 2015 the demographics of the USA will be
- 51% White.
- 21% Hispanic, up 5%.
- 13% Black.
- 7% Asian, up 2%.
- 2% Native.
- 6% Other/Mixed, up 2%.

in 2012, we can approx guess that blacks,hispanics,asians will be 40-45% of the population which will def vote for Obama, so he needs only 10% white votes to pull through.

The only hope is for the republicans to get a strong authentic Hispanic candidate, that is the only strategy that will give Obama a real fight.

The main problem with running a Hispanic candidate is that it will turn off the 25% and more Republicans who are racist. True, they would prefer a brown man to a black man but their support will be lukewarm at best. The other problem is that a Hispanic would most likely be Catholic: here in the south they don't care much for THAT brand of superstition.

Doesn't really matter: Obama gets us out of Iraq/Afghanistan and the economy continues its recovery and he wins in a landslide. Hey . . that would make for a great thread title.

Where do you come up with these asinine percentages and claims? Another doofus ON IGNORE.

Quote from lizmerrill:

first obowma takes over the auto industry, at 18% of our economy, and now will take over the health care industry, which will equal 50% of the economy,

18% and 16% (1/6) is 34, not 50.

Good luck with your trading.
