Potentially troubling news for Clinton in Michigan 'win'
Potentially troubling news for Clinton in Michigan 'win'
Posted: 09:45 AM ET
Clinton won less than a quarter of support from black voters.
(CNN) — Hillary Clinton faced a grim statistic in Michigan tonight, despite her primary "win" there: results revealed that she may have reason to worry about her grasp on the African-American vote.
The Michigan primary vote was essentially meaningless: the national party stripped the state of its delegates because it held its contest too early in the election season, and Clinton was the only major Democratic contender whose name appeared on the ballot.
Even so, roughly 70 percent of Michigan’s African-American voters — a group that makes up a quarter of Michigan’s Democratic electorate — did not cast their votes for Clinton, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. Yet these voters weren’t uncommitted at all: in fact, according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot.
Had Obama’s name been on the Michigan ballot, CNN exit polls show that he would have won an overwhelming 73 percent of the African-American vote, in contrast to 22 percent who say they would have voted for Clinton under those circumstances. If South Carolina’s large African-American community votes as Michigan’s, Hillary may not be feeling much ‘southern hospitality’ in that state.
Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?
OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
As expected, it was the only sane thing to do.
I'm getting tired of the race and gender BS being tagged to this race.
well get tired then, it will continue to be an issue. No way around it.Originally Posted by Cypress

Getting into a racism battle with Obama... priceless.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

poor Clinton's.. they are not black anymore.
something else to consider.. if hillary does go on to win primary.. this backlash may lose allot of votes for her in general.
Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?
OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.
It was inevitable. I hope this does not divide my country any more, bush and his crew has pretty much shreddud us already.

The nastier it gets the lower the turnout. This is one of the issues with nasty politics. I just find that it is the mistake that would cost her the WH, either by not securing the Nomination, or because black voters would be far less likely to turn out in her support.
So, yeah. I think if she gets the nod this will hurt her in the general.

Who said that?
Just like Bill, no Clinton wins the White House without overwhelming black support.
