me, too. He had a couple of good points about how the country isn't racially divided, it's ideologically divided...and how in his opinion the message of the R's isn't getting out to people of color. I don't remember much, and I don't want to put words in his mouth, but the gist was that there's no way that 95% of african-americans (and 70% of latinos) should identify with liberals.
Bill Maher @billmaher O Reilly just said people vote for Obama cuz they "want stuff", then cited blacks, Latinos and women.
He's got a great point. It's an unfortunate stat really. It's like the republicans just assume nothing they say will sway the people. Bad way of thinking.
that's one reason Bill Maher sucks. O'Reilly's line was that there was an ideological shift to people who "want stuff", and people know Obama will give it to them before Romney will. Juan Williams had brought up women, blacks and latinos and O'reilly was careful not to make it racial (or gender-based), but ideological.
No New York, Illinois or California in those numbers which is going to give Obama a + over Romney of many millions. (he was + 6.4 million in those 3 in 2008)
Trying to sell Romney to people of color is like trying to convince an NBA fan that a 7 foot white US player is not a big stiff.
LOL... To go with that analogy, there are more than 5% of NBA fans who would say "Well, you may as well take a shot...you can't teach size" They may be wrong, and they may not be 50/50, but it's darn sure more than 5%.
Man Florida is close. Seems like lately, presidential elections, often come down to Florida. Romney closing the gap . . . less than 100,000 votes separate the two
