Like so many other Republicans 
Small wonder they are suppressing the vote along racial lines!!
From Daily Kos back in 2008 - http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/09/04/586984/-GOP-Delegate-Demographics-Closer-to-Alaska-than-US
Black Delegates: 1.5% (36 people)
Hispanic Delegates: 5%
Male Delegates: 68%
Female Delegates: 32%
Sources: Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies; CBS/NY Times Poll
This was vs the 2008 Democratic delegation demo -
Minority delegates: 44%
Black delegates: 24%
Hispanic delegates: 12%
*Women slightly outnumber men for first time in convention history
Am wondering if they rounded up the real figure for blacks...
the Friday broadcast and right at the end of the interview, Spike chuckled about the strategically placed blacks standing in the background directly behind Rmoney so they appeared on camera when he announced Lyin' Ryan.
These people act like no one notices that they do this time after time after time.
And make them appear to be hundreds,somehow.....
... perhaps the Reeps actually have .0000001& of the vote.
What the hey is up with THAT? 
so I apologize if anyone reading this has already seen it.
IMO the Republican party is screwed. There will be a ~6% shift in the electorate from 2008 to 2020. If we assume the (D)s get 2/3s of that vote and the (R)s get 1/3 of that vote then we net a 2% gain. In a country where the split is something like 47 - 47 with 6% undecided, this is huge. We are looking at the possibility of a country where the electorate is split 49 - 45 with 6% undecided in just 8 short years.

The increase in the nonwhite share of the electorate over the next decade will have major consequences for electoral competition. If the Democratic Party is able to maintain anything close to the overwhelming advantage among nonwhite voters that it enjoyed in 2008, Republican candidates will need to win a considerably larger share of the white vote than their party’s candidates did in 2008 or even 2004 in order to remain competitive in national elections. Under these circumstances, even a 60 percent share of the white vote would not be enough to give a Republican candidate a majority of the popular vote and the last Republican presidential candidate to win more than 60 percent of the white vote was Ronald Reagan in 1984.
An alternative path to victory for Republicans in future national elections would involve seeking to expand their Party’s support among nonwhite voters. By winning a larger share of the nonwhite vote, a Republican candidate could be elected with considerably less than 60 percent of the white vote. But this would require the GOP to move away from its conservative base and closer to the ideological center because nonwhite voters tend to be strong supporters of increased spending on social programs and activist government.

Along the same lines, 65 percent of nonwhite voters, including 64 percent of African-American voters and 73 percent of Hispanic voters, supported the creation of a single-payer health care system in the United States compared with only 15 percent of Republican primary voters. And given a choice between more government services with higher taxes and fewer government services with lower taxes, 67 percent of nonwhite voters, including 67 percent of African-American voters and 68 percent of Hispanic voters, chose more government services with higher taxes compared with only 25 percent of GOP primary voters.
Now I think I understand why Michael lost? .......His job.
According to him he tried to encourage them to involve more minoritiess.
They did.....Mr.999
That is the best they "wanted " to do.
It is a must see segment.
