Since the subject has been beaten daily by those on this forum concerning the black vote. Let's discuss the reason why Whites, Jews and Asians in particular vote democrat.

This thread is NOT to discuss Blacks, there are already numerous threads on that topic where you can discuss.

Why even play the race card is my question to you? I feel everyone votes for who they want too because they have the same beliefs. Frankly, this thread should be closed.

the upcoming election will be interesting to see where the Jewish vote goes.
Obama has not been a big supporter of Israel. My guess is some of those voters will sit out

I take it you asked the very same question in the numerous threads questioning blacks and their vote. I also take it you requested that those threads be closed as well?

The answer to that is in the first sentence in the OP. Or didn't you read past the title?

If Tuesday's election were confined to white America, polls show, Senator Barack Obama would lose.

And yet Mr. Obama's strength across racial lines lies at the heart of his lead in the polls over Senator John McCain heading into Election Day. Remarkably, Mr. Obama, the first black major party presidential nominee, trails among whites by less than Democratic nominees normally do.


America's political parties grew decisively polarized by race after 1964, the year President Lyndon Johnson signed civil rights legislation that his Republican presidential opponent, Barry Goldwater, opposed. Since then, election pollsters estimate, Democratic nominees have averaged 39 percent of the white vote. In last week's New York Times/CBS News poll, Mr. Obama drew 44 percent support among whites -- a higher proportion than Bill Clinton captured in his general election victories.

ok, a 2008 NY times articles on poll numbers doesn't really answer the question.

I can't say I agree. I believe the 2012 election is where we will really see where everyone really stands. Yes this Nov election is going to be a heated one, but like the 2009 elections, I believe a lot of folks are going to stay away from the polls due to political BS exhaustion from both parties.
