8k to 12.8k is "almost double“

Must be the New Math.

The DOW was still in free fall when Obama first took office. It bottomed out in the 6000s.

Puerto-Ricans , Mexicans, Cubans, Chicanos represent vastly different demographics.

I think Blacks broke for the Democrats because over the past several generations Blacks almost always break for the Dems in national elections. Of course, Obama helped with the enthusiasm factor among Black voters, but the same was true with JFK among Catholics and I'm sure for many Mormons with Mitty.

Go on to a message board below one of these news articles on Yahoo, CNN anywhere and read all the horribly racist comments. Why would any black person want to be associated with those republicans? One of the words Republicans love to use to get around the filter is ni66ers.

Yahoo message boards are Tea party Central. If I was black I would be horribly offended and pi66ed off. As long as the Republicans remain the way they are blacks will go 80% and above for the Democrats.

The 11 to 13% increase of voting just for blacks would say you are full of it. I bet more % of Democrat Hispanics didn't vote for Obama then white democrats.

only a 2% increase from 2004.

And he did it all without a teleprompter. ASTONISHING. A politician speaking from the heart.

I do not. I'm NOT conservative nor liberal. I'm conservative in economic and foreign policy while being extremely liberal in social issues. I supported Romney because I don't feel Barack came through on the social reform he promised 4 years ago.

I think my liberalism in social issues is precisely WHY I'm so stunned and disgusted right now.

Social issues like...the death penalty?

Yep...a pro-death penalty, demeaning to women, self-admitted homophobe, but who thinks people have the right to live their own lives. You're the very definition of an "extreme social liberal."

And don't worry, I won't return all that neg rep you're giving me. I may even send you some positive rep again, because you're such a bleeding heart and a nice guy, championing the cause of social liberalism with every post.

Didn't a death penalty ban referendum just crash and burn in California? Yeah, must only be Hard Core Right Wing social cons that support the death penalty

He's prolly not drunk anymore.

"Stupor" is going to take more time.

I always find the best way to form an impression of a group of tens of millions of people is to look at anonymous comments at the bottom of some random article on the web. Then I find the most offensive comments and project that across every person I like to think might've voted for the same guy for President.

I voted for him because he's a gay socialist muslim born in kenya that is going to sell us to China for a bag of weed & a signed copy of “Innocence of Muslims,”.

I am hearing a great deal of talk about "appealing to Hispanics" and "appealing to women." But I am not hearing much about endorsing actual policies. What happened [Tuesday] night is not a matter of cosmetics. This is not false consciousness. This a real response to real policies. Mitt Romney actually endorsed Arizona's immigration policies. You can't fix this by flashing more pictures of brown people.

It's a "Catch 22," I tell ya - if the rethugs move toward policies that appeal to minorities, women, young people, et al, then they lose the Jim Crow vote (their bread and butter.)

They are still counting votes in Florida. What is wrong with them down there.

Heads should roll.

I think 12 or so states have now either passed laws or Constitutional Amendments prohibiting their governments from working to enact the law. At least as far as the mandate goes. So it's not just Florida.

And the Supreme Court decision on the topic wasn't real friendly to the idea that the feds can force any States into doing their dirty work.
