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?

Uh... no. Both are massive majorites. He'll get around 86% or 87% anyway. I said "well over 80%".

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.

Haha, nice try Down but that's just silly. Whites tend to be more secular than blacks anyway.

If blacks just wanted someone who looks like them then 3/4 of Maryland blacks wouldn't have voted for Ben Cardin.

Most blacks vote on the issues and their economic survival is usually on the top of their respective lists.

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

Plenty of groups come out at 80%+ plus though (like Deep South whites and Mormons). I really fail to see a huge difference there.
