If you add up blacks, women and gay people (god, I sound like an old disco song) |
|
we make up the majority of the country by a long shot (and yes I know the three categories overlap).
Hell, women by themselves make up more than half the country. And they are more reliable voters than men.
The Republicans know this too. Straight, white men are a minority themselves now, and half of THEM vote Democratic, too.
The only hope of the Republicans is to split us all up and divert us from who the real enemy is.
The last thing we want is a campaign that is divisive and splits up what is a potentially unbeatable alliance.
If our candidate in the fall gets a solid majority amongst women and even just the usual overwhelming majorities amongst blacks and gay people, we win.
We WIN.

3. The only group Hillary wins is invisible vapor voters. |
|
I'd rather have a president elected by the people.

4. add in Jews, Labor, Hispanics, Students, and so on .... |

8. "blacks, women and gay people" |

That certainly was the disco scene. (Not that I really remember, having been a little kid during the disco era)

13. Not all women are voting for Hillary...She'll be lucky to get over half the women vote |
|
Edited on Sat Jan-12-08 12:53 AM by fujiyama
while I think it excites many women that someone of the same gender can get elected president, there are many women that despise Hillary.
And it's no given she'll appeal to black men as well...especially with the stupid comments made this week. She's blowing this herself, not because she's racist or Bill's racist but because she's just not realizing the sensitivity involved around race.
