Election Demographics

[parishht]

CNN has an intersting page that shows who voted for who.

Take a look and I am sure you will be blown away just like I was:

Wish the outcome was different, but the technology is used to dissect this election is cool

Here's another one that I just calculated.

votes for Obama = 62,605,967
votes for Mccain = 55,512,629
votes for others = 1,526,269

If you add the others to Mccain = 57,038,898

Mccain still would lose by = 5,567,069

estimated number of people eligible to vote (18+) = 224,548,863
total amout of votes cast = 119,644,865
Number of people that didn't vote = 104,903,998
50% factor for people that are sick, assigned to
a God forsaken outpost, people who moved and could not re-register in time
hobos, druggies and dealers, etc. = 52,451,999

that african american turnout for obama was amazing 95%. thats high for anything no matter what it is.

This is an exit poll,
so that is 95% of the people asked.
Even though 95% of the black vote was for Obama,
it was only 13% of the total voters. HHHMMMMMMMMM

If you interpret well the difference in percentage between the white vote for both candidates and the black vote for both candidate you can conclude that white people have overcome the racial barrier, what about the black people?

HAHAHAHAHA.... that's so funny, and intriguing too.

Seems pretty racist to me. And why can't they refer to me as a Northern European American.... even though I wasn't born there nor have I ever visited?
