Is there anything you could get 99 out of 100 people to agree on? Anything at all? Perhaps that the sky is blue (the sky isn't blue its azure!). You can't even get 99% of dentists to agree with the proper toothpaste you should be using. Is there anything you can get 99 out of 100 people to agree on?
A stunning 99% of the African-American vote goes to Obama, the first black presidential candidate of a major U.S. political party, along with 28% of the white vote. Seventy percent (70%) of whites support McCain.
I have to admit that is pretty damned amazing. And even though this same Ras poll shows Obama down 9 points, given the 40% African-American turnout in Georgia's early-voting, I wouldn't be shocked if the state was damned competitive. Right now, with the African-American vote alone, he sits with 40% of the vote. I'm sure there are a few latte liberals in Georgia who would make up the last 10% to victory.
And our good buddy Bob Barr? Maybe he'd like to be in on the party too.
Sometimes Kos likes to say that the Republicans will end up being a regional party based in the South. One state at a time that base is getting more and more shaky.
I'm proud of you Georgia. Let's bring this thing on home!
