Here is a link to a URL, with some white and black voters interviewed in rural West Virginia. This gives insight into the mindset of a significant number of rural, white voters to be found everywhere from Pennsylvania to Missouri to Ohio.
I found it interesting how blacks would vote for the democratic candidate regardless of race, but amongst the whites interviewed, prejudice clearly reigned over economic and other political interest.
And you forgot the one from the inner city hoods who are helping Obama at a 95% clip. Now that is racism at its best.
Line them up. We will need all we can get to balance all the cheating Obama will be doing.
So people are not allowed to vote the way they want?
Do you have a link with that info?
From what I have seen 88-90% of blacks have voted for the Democratic candidate for the last 15 or so years.

People can vote for whom they want and for whatever reasons. That is not my point. Of course blacks will vote 90% for Obama, but they would do this for a Democratic candidate regardless of race. They may be more motivated to vote because he is partially black .... but they are also voting for a party's agenda. Are these rural whites doing the same? Are Hillary and McCain the same to them?

And you expected any different? There is alot of white trailer park trash in states like W VA and Kentucky not to mention the south. They are mostly all a bunch of illiterate rednecks and there is no way any black would ever get a vote from them. Like Obama said- they are bitter people who cling to guns and Bibles. I don't know why Obama backed off that statement. It is right on the money.

The #s showed in the last election that the 2 black candidates got nowhere near enough votes to go on past March, so if 95% "inner city hoods" vote just for a black candidate, we would have had one well before Obama
That arguement is old, espically when the facts don't support it.
Don't overlook the millions of people voting for Obama based solely on the color of his skin, rather than the content of his character.
