UPDATE 3: RACE WAS NOT A NEGATIVE FACTOR

November 6, 2008

Campaign finance totals from NY Times (as listed today)
Polling data from CNN (as listed today) and Wiki (today)
Numbers are not final so the stats may change some but not much.

RACE WAS NOT A (NEGATIVE) FACTOR
PROVEN ONCE AND FOR ALL
ONLY 2% INCREASE IN BLACK TURNOUT

MONEY WAS THE MAJOR ISSUE
2004 BUSH $5.92/vote
2004 KERRY $5.52
2008 MCCAIN $4.18
2008 OBAMA $10.20

A clear argument can be made that barry's biggest lie - reneging on his agreement to take public financing - won him the general election and widespread caucus voter fraud, proobama media bias, DNC favoritism and the illegal handling of Michigan voters - giving delegates to a candidate whose name was not on the ballot - won him the nomination.

There was not a "massive turnout" and blacks did not vote in "record numbers".
84% of Senator Clinton voters voted for barry.
48% said before the convention they would not.
That's a 6.3 million voter swing with barry's margin of victory +7,738,238.

BUSH vs KERRY +3,012,166
OBAMA vs MCCAIN +7,738,238
OBAMA vs BUSH +2,648,079

2008 Republican turnout -5,090,159
2008 Democratic turnout +5,660,245
2008 vs 2004 total electorate +570,086

Barry outperformed KERRY and GORE in every category.
He won male, female, Black, Hispanic, Asian and Other.
Compared to 2004: Hispanic 9 (+1) Black 13% (+2) White 74% (-3)
He lost Whites but got a net gain of +5 to KERRY and +1 to GORE.
And a net gain among males +12 to KERRY and GORE.

Republicans did not turnout to vote AGAINST a black man.
Approx 8 million (1/3) eligible black voters couldn't be bothered to register.
There was only a 2% increase with a black candidate.
That's the race issue that needs to be looked at in this election.

The true measure of the black pundits and politicians, who pounded barry opponents and pontificated about racist WHITE AMERICA, will be judge by their non-mention of it.
