I don't see how zero votes for someone resulted in 1%. Nothing is nothing per cent, isn't it.

Obama and Romney could switch parties and run on the exact same platform and 100% of them would vote for Romney. They are brainwashed to vote for the "D".

Obama would be a rich Uncle Tom and Romney would be the guy who gave MA free health care.

Laugh. But you know it's true.

Try reading this article, and see if you still feel it has to do with being a Democrat versus a Republican:

Why African Americans vote for President Obama - PostPartisan - The Washington Post

Quote:
For African Americans, Obama embodies their hopes, dreams and aspirations. The biracial son of a single mother who had his share of tough times but who also worked hard enough to walk through doors once thought impossible. Helping put him in the Oval Office was an act of pride for African Americans. Helping him stay there for a second term is as much about securing his legacy as it is reinforcing ours.

That's not exactly truthful. Most of these divisions supported Bush in significantly higher numbers in 2004.

Powell and Rice get zero support because they are R's. A staggering 89% of blacks said they wouldn't vote for Rice, and she supported gay marriage and abortion.

Rice has the stench of Bush all over her.

And Powell is liked, but his connections to Bush hurt him as well.

And their being Republicans doesn't help them either. They would both have a better chance of getting elected if they were Democrats.

Yes, the vast majority of Blacks are Democrats.

Democrat policies focus on helping the middle and lower classes, and a significant portion of the Black population fall into these classes.

This another one of those wonderful unskewed Republican poll?

If you've got facts, post'em. If not...

In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes

How exactly would voter ID have done anything here??? This sounds more like election fraud, which voter ID doesn't stop at all, not even close
