to call in. I am somewhat offended. I am watching the streaming video...this happened on Monday. I had never known CSPAN to do this and am wondering if they will have a segment for Caucasian Voters Only or Hispanic Voters Only.

1. They single out certain groups all the time.
I watch Washington Journal every day, and when they are looking for responses from a specific part of the population, they state it.

Some I've seen:

Dems only
Pubs only
Catholics only
certain states only


I think the reason for this is because the media consistently say one campaign or the other is isolating on a particular group of voters.

I wouldn't get excited over this.
