Romney Has --O-- Percent Of The African-American Vote

The race to the White House is shaping up to be a clear referendum in Black and White.

According to a new NBC/WSJ poll, Obama is riding high on 94 percent of the African-American vote, while Mittens can count on a statistical — wait for it — 0 percent of the African-American vote.

Looking inside the numbers, Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).

Romney is ahead with whites (53 percent to 40 percent), rural voters (47 percent to 38 percent) and seniors (49 percent to 41 percent).

good fucking luck, indeed.

Would it be too ridiculous to talk about the prospect of retaking the House at this point?

African American voters seem to be somehow prescient on these presidential elections. They voted hugely against Bush/Cheney as well.

3. Which is why the GOP is working so hard to supress their vote.

I am surprised that the woman and senior votes are so close. I am willing to bet the spreads in those will get wider, too.
