I drive through a section of DC daily which is one of the highest poverty sections. The black people that are sitting out on their porches happen to have McCain/Palin posters also up. I guess I don’t know if they are republican, but at least I can tell you who they are voting for.  
I’m not giving an opinion, I’m just saying you can’t say poor black people ALWAYS vote democrat when I see daily that it isn’t true.

This is all I was looking for “almost always” not “always”.
