That's bullshyt, Obama had zero name recognition compared to Hillary that was the only reason Hillary was ahead in polls, after winning the rural white vote in Iowa and defeating Hillary Obama became world famous overnight and black voters were solidly behind Obama from the go
Black voters and rural whites where the backbone of Obama campaign
What the fukk are you talking about? Blue areas in any state are urban areas.
Hilary's backbone were Latinos and "hard working whites" aka ethnic whites who's grand parents had flooded the U.S. And exploited racism to step on blacks on their way up
and I'm not talking about polls, I'm taking about actual votes where all voters were fully aware of the politics.
Hilary's got a lot of support from poor whites. Some who decided not to vote or vote republican cause they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black president.
Of course Obama is a liberal so he was promising to give 11 million illegal immigrants a green card so of course they had no real choice but to vote for him
Latinos voted for Obama in higher numbers than they voted for Gore, Kerry, Dukkakis, Mondale, Carter and Clinton's first term. Man, Those Latinos sure have a strange way of showing their deep seated hatred. Boy.
Carter 56%
Walter Mondale 61%
Dukkakis 69%
Clinton 61%, 72%
Al Gore 62%
John Kerry 58%
Obama 67%, 68%
He also got overwhelmingly Latino support in battleground states, even Florida.
Obama carried Florida’s Hispanic vote 60% to 39%
Colorado, Obama carried the Latino vote by a wide margin—75% to 23%.
In Nevada, Obama won the Hispanic vote 70% to 25%.
Obama won 68% of the Hispanic vote in North Carolina, 65% in Wisconsin, 64% in Virginia and 53% in Ohio.
But any way, like I said, xenophobia is irrational by definition so I don't expect the numbers to sway you.
