US HISTORY
Once the U.N. partition vote was taken, the Arabs were bent on destroying the Jewish settlements and began to attack them immediately. Assam Pasha, secretary-general of the Arab League, said on the radio, "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre." [1947]

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 02:45PM Howard Stern is nuts, but you can’t not watch him sometimes. It’s sorta like watching a brawl in the parking lot. Stern went to Harlem and asked people who they were voting for. Their responses—voting for Obama based on McCain’s positions—illustrate the power of branding. All major TV networks and most large circulation print journals have the Chris Matthews leg shivers for Obama. All I can say is it works and if Obama’s elected with Democrats at the helm in Congress, I hope you enjoy your tax increase. Note to Obama fans reading this: I'm expressing my opinion. I will guarantee you there will be a tax increase and it won’t just be on the rich. Maybe you better ask Obama how he defines ‘middle class’ in terms of income. And like I always say, a Democrat never met a tax he didn't like. The sole exception is Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) who didn't like his own taxes so much he decided not to pay them. Predictably, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave Rangel a pass and he still serves on the committee that determines your tax laws.

This is no different that a white person voting for McCain because he is white. Or not voting for Obama because he is black. Vice versa this would be the same if we were to ask whites in rural areas why the would vote for Obama.
The same "study" could've been conducted in the deep south with McCain voters. You know, hicks...
I think the point is most these people wouldnt vote AT ALL if there wasnt a black candidate...
this is bs. c'mon now, who didn't know palin was v.p. for mccain? these are paid actors, gtfo
