I'm predicting an Obama landslide

Discussion in 'Politics' started by RangeBar, Mar 20, 2010.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

    Good luck with your trading.
