Why is Hillary leading among all of these demographic groups?

[jackson_dem]

Whites
Latinos
Asians
Jews
GLBT

Among all of these groups she has a big lead, except among whites and even there she had a huge lead until Edwards, who was tied with Obama among whites, dropped out and most of his support moved to Obama. Are all these groups racist? Or do they see something in Hillary those who view her as an evil caricature don't see?

[sunonmars]

1. Its because she's supported them a long time, not just 2 months ago when he needed them

[emilyg]

10. Agree.

[jasmine621]

12. Ouch! nt

[grizmaster]

39. DING DING! Give the man a kupee doll

well said

[Yossariant]

2. Because she's going to win the nomination. Time for Barack to stand down.

[thevoiceofreason]

3. Just like the various states

he's narrowing the difference, and soon will overcome her institutional advantage and the years of paid favors.

[Bread and Circus]

4. are you saying blacks see her as an evil caricature...

because that's what your words suggest.

[jackson_dem]

6. Duers and most folks on the netroots do

Blacks supported her too until the Clintons were swiftboated on race. She went from leading among blacks to losing 88-12 among blacks in Georgia after that exhibition of a politics of hope and unity.

[Bread and Circus]

7. now you are saying they are too naive to understand who was playing games with race?

I think some closeted tendencies are coming out here. You might want to be careful.

[jackson_dem]

17. What is the history of racial politics?

When the race card is injected some blacks rally to the black and some whites to the white. Any serious political observer would know this. How do you explain Obama going from losing among blacks to winning 80-19-1 in South Carolina in a matter of weeks? His record didn't change. Nor did the records of his opponents.

[Bread and Circus]

33. you said the Clintons were "swiftboated on race" - if anything, they "swiftboated" themselves

and any respectable liberal critic has made it abundantly clear that it was the Clintons that brought racial references into the race. I know you don't want to believe this, but that's how it happened. For you to infer the Clintons are victims here is to somehow insinuate the blacks are too obtuse to understand the real score. The Clintons laid the bait and they were called on it.

[jackson_dem]

35. It wasn't the Clintons who said "we need whites to solidify" and "whites should wake up"

The Obamas brought race into the campaign months before any vote had been cast.

[Bread and Circus]

36. Well, I guess I will side with people who know what they are talking about.

[jackson_dem]

37. You're denying the racial comments the Obamas made in 2007?

[Bread and Circus]

40. I am denying that your false assertions and interpretations of what

what said is true. I am backed up by respectable liberal analyses in the press. You are backed up by the people that want to call names and talk trash about "cults", "koolaid drinkers", and "handshake snubgates". I will take my chances with the scholars, consider me risk averse.

[jackson_dem]

41. So you admit you let others do your thinking

Sad.

[Bread and Circus]

42. I admit you that you have nothing to back your thinking up, while I do.

[rwheeler31]

5. Some know the History and do not want to relive it.

[OHdem10]

8. Years of experience has given Hilary the time to establish

close ties in these groups.

[LadyVT]

9. Because white male conservatives recognize one of their own

That's why they're voting in DROVES for Obama.
(McCain will win that match up.)

[TomClash]

11. Why is Barack winning all these demographic groups?

blacks
young voters
independents
white males
liberals/progressives

[Danger Mouse]

13. Nice, subtle insult of black voters.

Pure class.

[jackson_dem]

15. Obamites playing the racist! if you don't drink the kool aid card again

Latinos, and now Asian, are being tarred and feathered by Obamite thugs as racist for voting for Hillary and not St. Obama. This list shows Hillary is the choice of most groups. Only a fool would think all of the groups listed above are racist.

[mtnsnake]

18. Wow, how on earth can you take jackson's post as being an insult to black voters?

If anything, it's a compliment to Hillary for proving she doesn't have a racial bone in her beautiful body. Neither does Bill. There's a reason black voters, as well as other ethnicities love the Clintons....it's because the Clintons have done so much good on all their behalf. Obama is getting most of the black vote this time, but that isn't because black people don't still like Bill and Hillary. It's because they just like Obama a little better right now.

Dam she's pretty

[Yossariant]

14. More reasons for Obama to step down.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

16. Traditional Democratic constituencies except the wealthy whites who are with Obama

[Iktomiwicasa]

19. Yeah, your list is nice...

...but aren't you forgetting someone? Barack Obama leads among my people, and you better not forget who this land REALLY belongs to.

[jackson_dem]

21. Is he? Can you show any poll backing that up?

I didn't include NA's because Native Americans have not been included as a subset in any national poll.

[Iktomiwicasa]

25. All I can tell you

is that Hillary has only one endorsement from ONE tribal council (which does not speak for the tribe as a whole. OTOH, Obama has the endorsement of the two major native newspapers in this country, and as a traditional native who has feelers all over Indian Country throughout the U.S., Hillary has virtually no support amongst traditionals.

Might tell your pollsters to stop forgetting about a segment of the population here.

[jackson_dem]

31. My pollsters?

I am going by national polls by national firms. I agree they need to include all groups. Asians are rarely included and Latinos are sometimes excluded too.

[PretzelWarrior]

20. why is Obama leading with young people and the educated?

[jackson_dem]

22. According to the Obamite logic because everyone over 30 and without a college degree is a racist!

[557188]

38. Educated in what?

Just being educated doesn't mean much. People with business degrees are some of the dumbest people I've ever met.

[Sapphocrat]

23. Because whites, Latinos, Asians, Jews, and queers...

...are a bunch of low-income, stupid old women.

Well, that's what I read on DU, so it must be true, right? :shrug:

[jackson_dem]

24. And racist!!!!!!

:mad:

[Sapphocrat]

27. And racist!

Sorry, sorry, I forgot!

[jackson_dem]

30. lol Obama forgives you

[doyourealize1]

26. Bill Clinton is very popular in the Asian community

Moreover, it is a sad fact, but there is partial truth in saying that AA are not popular in the Asian community.

[THUNDER HANDS]

28. why is she leading all those groups and still not wrapping up the nomination by now?

that's the better question.

[jackson_dem]

29. She's down 88-12 among African-Americans (1/5 of Democrats)

That big margin makes up Obama's smaller deficit among the other groups.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. In SC African Americans Were 55% Of The Electorate

He won 81%-19% among that demographic...

He started with 45% of the vote...

You can look at the demographics of a state and just about predict the winner...

[BenDavid]

34. could be they actually believe what she is saying to them

whereas they do not trust this huckster obama.....

[moosen]

43. and how will Obama pick up these groups should he win the nomination?
