PPP: African Americans are the most excited group of voters in 2012.

[RandySF]

-25% of conservatives are not at all excited to vote this fall, compared to only 16% of liberals.

-The percentage of Tea Party voters 'very excited' about voting in November has declined from 73% to 62% since late July.

-The single group of voters most enthused about turning this year are African Americans, 72% of whom say they're 'very excited' to cast their ballots.

7. The right wing's constant disrespect and outright hatred of the President

...make it easier and easier for for African-Americans like me (and other Observant-Americans I hope) to see past policy issues with President Obama.

Every time I see Obama snubbed, racially made fun of, or lied about, I can relate to him and sympathize as a person without regard to his politics. Most folks' battles with racism, classism, or sexism, are very private - Obama's are all a matter of public record.

I am not enthused to be voting for Obama (this time), but I'll be damned if I contribute to the GOP's destruction of a good Man's reputation and Presidency.

The more they keep up personal attacks on a Man who has nothing personally to dislike and disrespect his legitimacy as President, the more people are gonna be pulled into that excited group of voters who will pull the lever to keep 44 right where he is.

10. That's how I feel about it as well. I'm not thrilled with Obama, but I will definitely

be voting for him.

8. I'm glad they are excited about their quarterback....

...now if they could get him to start completing more passes, instead of getting sacked by the Repubs, we might start winning the game.

9. "Thier quarterback?"

11. He came from their farm team.

People are always proud when one of their own makes it to the majors, especially starting quarterback.

12. GOOD NEWS

I'm sick of people thinking OBAMA is a King and can just snap his fingers to change every policy they don't agree with. People need to realize that most of the change needs to go thru congress, where the GOP kills everything that is remotely positive or fair while they continue to line their pockets with money from the lobbyist. GOP governors refusing funds for high speed rails, attacking the people at every chance, why would they do this you ask? Because greed is short sighted and the lobbyist pay much better than the governor’s office in every state so who cares about reelection? When you receive millions upfront and down the line. Obama has to raise a Billion dollars just to contend with the lobbyist donations.
As a Blackman I feel sorry for OBAMA, he has to deal with a society that hates him for no other reason other than he is not white. Mark my words if he was Latin, Asian, Jewish or Native American he would still be demonized. Our best hope is not for Change, it is for death, death of an old scared Generation, they all look like that Bitch in AZ, or Newt, McCain and Rush Limpaws, their scared and the want their followers scared too and it is working it always has, but time is on our side.
