> [@BluBalls](#): > > funny clip on Howard Stern today, Sal went into Harlem asking black people who they were voting for.

I would hope most ignorant people just dont bother to vote. I think many of them though got to the polls when Bush got elected. ---

It’s the same way that a bunch of stupid bra burning women would have voted for Hillary, no matter what, if she had won the primaries. I’m sure that there are plenty of people who don’t review anything about the candidate before voting for them based on their color/gender. ---

He didn’t get the nomination and then say, “Hey Bushy, I guess I don’t want to run for president after all, you go for it”. > **[2000 Republican Party presidential primaries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)_presidential_primaries,_2000)** > > Bob Dole > George W. Bush > From January 24 to June 6, 2000, voters of the Republican Party chose its nominee for president in the 2000 United States presidential election. Texas Governor George W. Bush was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 2000 Republican National Convention held from July 31 to August 3, 2000, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. > Bush’s victories in states like California and New York as well as conservative southern states gained him the nomination long before the Republican Convention. Saying you’re not voting McCain because he you lost respect for him in 2000 because he stepped down to Bush is just as dumb as a black person saying they’re voting for Obama because he’s pro-life. I really don’t care if McCain loses because people make an educated decision and the numbers come down on Obama’s side. That’s Democracy. What makes me sick is the high percentage of people who vote with no clue what they’re talking about. ---

I dont remember it that way for some reason… back in 2000 i remember the race being alot closer than that. Dont get me wrong he was a great candidate 8 years ago. And now there is no way i can stand the thought of palin being VP… i dont like obama that much either. This year really is not good. ---

this is far too vague of a question of course the majority of blacks are gonna vote obama the mjority of blacks are democrats thus causing them to vote for the democratic nominee regardless of race ie blacks loved john kerry because he was the democratic nominee. now if it were hilary clinton vs colin powell then you could ask this question and have a much more interesting debate ---

Obama will get about 5-8% more of the black vote than Kerry got. About 1/2 of that increase will be “because he’s black” HOWEVER b/c he’s black, a much LARGER amount of black people will come out to vote. ---

yeah, you are right. Instead of focusing on foreign policy and economic issues, mccain should spend a a few hours of his day checking his gmail account and dicking around his computer. Although, I do wonder if he needs to write coherent papers and stuff, how he composes them.
