"The Democratic Party is ON FIRE!"
Edited on Wed May-07-08 11:29 AM by TragedyandHope
- heard on the Obama campaign conference call.

Obama has won east and west
north and south
left and right and independents
women and men
white and black
old and young and everything in between
Catholics and Protestants
union households
joe sixpack, joe lunch bucket and joe pickup truck
high school graduates and college graduates

Electability is put to bed.

Every group they said Obama couldn't win turned out in droves for him yesterday.

Obama is over-performing.

Obama has won America.

Democrats have had record turnouts and are attracting thousands of new voters, independents and Republicans.

Don't let yourself get caught up in the past. Together we can move forward to WIN November!

McCain will be a footnote in history.

2. The question is was it a controlled burn or arson?

3. Obama has won my vote
So I think he has a shot at getting ANYONE's vote. And he is not afraid to ask for it. Howard Dean's simple truth: "It is a sign of respect to ask for someone's vote ... especially when you know you won't get it." Let's show that respect, and ask people for their vote even if we thoroughly expect them to say "No."

4. Winning N.C. doesn't exactly prove electability

A red state whose Dems are mostly black.

6. He put it in to play, and what is wrong with Black Dems? Do they only count as 3/5 to you?
Race doesn't matter. And if you really want to harp on it - AAs don't even consist of 1/2 the voting dems in NC.

7. ENOUGH with the racism by proxy
Edited on Wed May-07-08 11:24 AM by TragedyandHope
Blacks are 33% of the voters in NC.

54% of Obama's NC votes were WHITE

The vote in INDIANA also PROVES that all the arguments have been false.

Obama made HUGE inroads, from Ohio to Pennsylvania to Indiana.

I'm sorry you can't accept this.

8. Do you have proof that NC's Dems are mostly black?
Seriously. I'd like to see it. Since African Americans only account for 22% of the NC population in general, I highly doubt that they account for a majority of the NC Democrats. (Not that there would be anything wrong with it if they did.) You may be thinking of South Carolina. There, African American voters make up an estimated 50% of the Democratic voters. (I Googled.) North Carolina and South Carolina are two different states btw.
