Arizona White Voters: 11 Point Swing To Brewer (Jim Crow Law Signer) For Governor!

"There has been a great deal of movement along racial lines. In the September poll Goddard had a 3 point lead with white voters, but he now trails Brewer by 8. At the same time he's increased his lead with Hispanic voters from 20 points to 46. There are a lot more white voters in the state than Hispanic ones so from a cynical, purely political perspective Brewer's actions last week probably did her some good."

Just in case anyone wondered precisely what the problem with Arizona is.

3. But this has nothing to do with race!
It's sheer coincidence that the people who like this vote tend to be lilywhite asses. Yeah, that's the ticket.

:eyes:

4. I know what the problem with Arizona is
which is why I stopped in NM when I left Boston.

There are parts in southern NM that have attracted the same Generation Suck WASP conservatives that inhabit much of Arizona, but the terrain in the rest of the state plus the huge Hispanic population here are deterrents to most of them.

Playing to WASP bigots isn't a losing strategy in Arizona. It would be in the northern 2/3 of New Mexico.

8. :) I think I had the best time skiing I've ever had at Taos. Not including Whistler, of course.

6. But But But
White Arizonans on this board can't think of one person that they know who supports this!!!!!!

It's like me never meeting anybody who would admit they voted for Nixon. He won 49 states in '72 SOMEONE had to vote for him.

Bottom line racists and other bigots(especially the "soft" ones) love the anonymity of the ballot box.

7. The whole line "yah racism exists but there's not a single example" always made me laugh...
I always looked around and wondered if I was the only one hearing what I was hearing. :rofl:
