Romney Needs 61% of White Vote

Romney is doing so poor among minority voters that he needs 61% of white vote to win. Better than any president since Ronald Reagan or Richard Nixon. Mitt might get a majority of the white vote but he is no Ronald Reagan. Anyone that is willing to make a $20 steak dinner wager on who will be President in november, I am open to offers.

Except you failed to recognize this important paragraph from the story.

"For President Obama, the winning formula can be reduced to 80/40. In 2008, Obama won a combined 80 percent of the votes of all minority voters, including not only African-Americans but also Hispanics, Asians, and others. If Obama matches that performance this year, he can squeak out a national majority with support from about 40 percent of whites—so long as minorities at least match the 26 percent of the vote they cast last time."

Obama will not get 80% of the minority vote or a 26% of the vote turnout, making the rest of the story moot.

obama got 43% of white vote last time so he won't need 80% of minority vote. obama will have to perform the same or better among minorities than last election.

you didn't read the next paragraph:
Quote:
If Obama nudges past 80 percent among minorities (which seems very possible) or the minority vote share rises (also possible, though less probable), the president could gain reelection while winning only about 38 percent of white votes.

Re: Romney Needs 61% of White Vote

The Obama excitement isn't there this time around Demented and you know it. By this time in 08 you could feel the disgusting levels of worship for the Obama among his supporters and minorities in general. Today it isn't there.

They have been let down and were used by Obama...not helped in any way and many of them know it.
