Oh The Sun Shines Bright On My Old Kentucky Racist!
Jim Pence May 21st, 2008
Kentucky exit polls indicate that 21% of KY voters said race was important. My question is this, how many folks were asked that question, but didn’t respond honestly?
I suggest the racist voted yesterday and they have been exposed and it can no longer be said, with any honesty, that race doesn’t matter here in Kentucky.
CNN exit polls indicate that 21% of KY voters said the race of the candidate was important. Of them, 81% voted for Hillary Clinton, while 16% cast a ballot for Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, 18% of those who said race was important to them were white, and almost nine of 10 voted for Clinton.
For all the talk of the impact of gender bias in the Democratic contest and, most notably, in media coverage of the battle, the race of the IL senator persists as a variable for many rural, white voters

Just like rural Kentucky to hitch themselves to the lame horse once again…
This is a little off topic but I wonder how long it will be before the ignorant, arrogant Holy Rollers say that Senator Kennedy brought the brain tumor on himself and that this is God’s way of punishing Senator Kennedy for the way he voted in the Senate? Keep your ears open - its coming.
Clinton supporters will throw the race to McCain in the general election, voting for 4 more years of Bush.
True Democrats will never vote for Bruce Lunsford, and will stay home in November. Four more years of Mitch.
If Obama is the nomination everyone better support him (Republicans too). I do not want to think about the depression that will arrive if McCain is elected (depression in the United States but not in the Far and Middle East where your tax dollars will go). We are force fed this farce about “free trade” from Economics 101 on. Taxation of imports is not isolationism. The refusal to fund Communist governments is not racism. True trade is a two way enterprise and there are no deficiets. The exportation of the United States economy is not another form of “free trade”. The Iraq war has left a power vacuum in the Middle East and was started by the United States because Sadam Hussein threatened George Bush’s father. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
We need to separate Church and State:
Matthew 22:21:
Then he said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Article VI, United States Constitution:
but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
There is nothing wrong with nationalism.
If you want to be unemployed and see an everlasting war vote for McCain.
If you want prosperity in the United States forget about race and vote for Obama.
I wouldn’t put much faith in that stat… half of those who said race was important might have been voting FOR Obama because he is black.
But I wouldn’t put much faith in those exit polls… 45% said Edwards endorsement was VERY IMPORTANT… yet 45% is a much bigger % then those that actually voted for Obama.
Another blow-out for Obama. After two weeks of everyone declaring him the winner, he still can’t put Hillary away.
Checking the electorial map, Obama’s got a lot of work left to do while McCain has to shore up Ohio and win a New Hampshire or Minnesota. McCain may have to defend Colorado or Nevada, but Obama has to defend Pa, Mi, and Wi.
Oh, and once again Clinton won the college-graduate vote… but nobody wants to talk about that on TV. They’d love everyone to think Obama only loss this state because we’re not educated.
Herodotus you post all the reason why we shouldn’t vote for Obama.
why should should we vote for McCain?
