McCain will win well over 80% of the white vote in states like MS and AL. I suppose we should call them out for being sheep as well, right?
BIG difference between 80% and 95% don't you think?
Also a big difference between 80% in a few states, and 90-95% in every state.  The nationwide white vote for McCain probably won't reach 60%

Still to call out blacks out on this, you must also call out southern whites. That is if you're being even handed about it anyway.
That really has to do religious ideals rather than race though.  There is a difference between voting in large masses because of a set of beliefs, and voting in large mass simply because you want someone who looks like you.

And that is why they voted en masse for Al Gore, right? He was black, as this photo clearly shows.

Sorry dude, though evangelicals come out in large numbers for one side no other group comes out 90+% reliably for one party.

Blacks just vote like that. Until the 1930s, they voted solidly Republican. Emancipation made them Republican, the New Deal made them Democratic. The Republicans have to do something to win them back.

LBJ was a virulent racist, the Civil Rights Act was a political stunt by him.

I don't care how a guy feels, I care about how he governs. I'd take that kind of racist over an ineffective civil rights activist every time.
