This poll isn't too sharp. Will whites vote for Obama? Some will, some won't, so the answer is "yes". It would only be correct to say "no" if absolutely no whites voted for Obama in 2012.
I'm white, and as far as I can see, I will be voting for Obama again. I'll be happy to do it.
Oh - and "whites" doesn't need an apostrophe before the letter 's'.
98% of blacks voted for Obama. Ones interviewed coming out of the polls were clueless. Black people I work alongside openly said they voted by race.
After seeing how majority of blacks vote I will never vote for anyone other than a white or Asian.
But, a lot of white people are terrified of being called racist and will do anything to prove it. Obama has a lot of loyalty from these people and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get re-elected in 2012.
It was closer to 95%, not 98%, and slightly, but not that much higher than the 90% clip blacks have voted for past Democratic Presidential candidates.
Also the fact that Michael Steele, Lynn Swann and Ken Blackwell all got shellacked among the black vote even though all are blacks and ran against three white guys, it shows its not a race thing.
To be fair I don't think it is much better then Bush's. (When I said "middle east crisis" I was referring to the Uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain etc.) With that said, I do not think voting for a Republican would be an improvement and I think most Republicans would be tangibly worse on stuff like supreme court appointments and all the issues that go with that (e.g. abortion, civil rights (particularly gay rights), and campaign finance), the war on drugs, the war on terror, civil liberties, social security, the environment etc.
Okay! In many ways I can agree with you, but in the whole scheme of things, can one party, the Dems, fix most things? I ask this because I think both parties are a bunch of schitbags. When I was in college a long time ago, I was a Liberal, I've now become a Left Libertarian Anarchist and think BOTH parties have failed. Your comments!!!!!!!!!

You said that you were very liberal in college. I was like that, also, over 60 years ago. However, when the Dems nominated an outright admitted socialist for president in 1972 they lost me completely. I agree with you that the Dems can't fix most things if anything at all other than making this country a socialist one, and i am totally against that.

No, no one/no party can fix most things and keep them fixed, if they could we probably wouldn't need elections. I think most politics is a matter of trying to do what is achievable while at the same time not rolling back the progress that was made. Most Republicans I have ran into tend to have a Lochnerian view of the constitution, which if they got anywhere with, it would set us back a century, and in some ways they have started to. This is part of why I tend to vote Democratic...Unfortunately with politics, like many things it often comes down to taking the less sh**ty option.

If by white you mean the deceased, then of course in the best Chicago tradition, many of the dead electorate will indeed vote for Obama, if his handlers are not too embarassed to run him.
Without further demographic qualifiers the OP thread appears to be racist in nature.
Do you suppose all blacks will vote for Obama? What about the blacks with white heritage or the whites with black heritage. Perhaps there is some sort of linear relationship between the per cent of diluted heritage and votes for Obama? May be a statistical theory question? Yep if we could predict behavior by race wouldn't that be a great.
What an odd question? Why specify race? Why specify Whites? Don't you have any curiosity about how Blacks, Spanish,Asian etc. voters will vote? Are you a racist?

Lol, what would be your reaction if 95% of whites voted for a white candidate over Obama?
