55% of those wide nosed breathing all the white mans air ******s, are to lazy to go out and vote. Especially here. I can't wait till the fiasco in polls here fucks up all obamas chances and mccain steals the election. Im almost certain fl gets won again like it happend in 04. The 16th district is the shit hole of voting properly 10x worse then anything they have in ohio. |

Towery, a former Republican state lawmaker who is now CEO of Atlanta-based Insider Advantage, believes black voters will turn out in huge numbers to vote for Obama. Towery said African-Americans could easily account for 30 percent of total votes cast in the election, an increase of 5 percentage points over 2004.
“You basically have to assume that, at minimum, most demographics are going to reach their maximum voting potential,” Towery said.
And his polls have reflected that. He has consistently shown the race between Obama and Republican John McCain to be tighter than other pollsters have found. A poll he released Tuesday had McCain leading by a single percentage point, following a poll last week showing Obama ahead by 1 point.
Towery says many other firms have been assuming that African-American turnout will remain closer to 2004 levels. But that ignores the spike in registration, agreed Democratic political consultant Jim Coonan.
“It doesn’t say Democrats win this,” Coonan said. “But what it says is, when you remove the registration and turnout differentials working in the favor of Republicans, this is a closely matched state.” |
