Obama Wins Mississippi- Dems Vote Along Racial Lines
So much for tolerance...
Democrats voted along racial lines in the Mississippi Democratic Primary.
-- 90% of blacks chose Obama
-- 72% of whites chose Hillary
Barack Obama wins in Mississippi.
FOX News reported:
Barack Obama won the Mississippi Democratic primary Tuesday, FOX News projects, giving him an expected but vital victory as he tries to fracture the momentum Hillary Clinton picked up with her wins one week earlier.Sure it wasn't.
John McCain won on the GOP side, but the Arizona senator has already locked down the nomination and faced no major rivals Tuesday.
Polls consistently showed Obama was favored to win in Mississippi. The state’s sizable black electorate was poised to give him a big boost, as it has in other southern states like Georgia and South Carolina. Mississippi offers 33 delegates.
Blacks make up about 37 percent of the state’s population, the highest concentration in the nation. Nearly half the voters in Tuesday’s Democratic primary were black, and they went for Obama by a split of 9-to-1.
A majority of voters said race was not an issue for them.
That's why 90% of blacks voted for the Messiah.
Only one quarter of the white vote went to Obama.
CNN has the results posted.

Stop whining, sheesh!
And 3 out of 4 non-blacks went for shillary. So much for the wife of the "first black president".
I still like the part where the kooks promise riots if the obamster isn't nominated.
Look, as someone who lives in Mississippi, I can say that yes, skin color was an issue for some. But many of us, blacks and whites both, just didn't like Shillary's negative campaigning.
We had to listen to her whining voice twice!!!!
She turned off a lot of people in the county I live. She accused Bush of trying to gage the damage from Hurricane Katrina while in a plane. Living in Harrison County, one of the hardest hit, her shrill cries spoke of hypocrisy. She has yet to visit the Mississippi Coastal counties that were devastated by Katrina.
Bush came at the appropriate time. If he had came any sooner, scarce resources for rescueing people, bringing food and water, and clearing debris would have had to been used for security details.
While 90% of Mississippi blacks voted along racist lines, the headlines will read:
"Mississippi Whites Vote Mainly Along Racist Lines".
That is the way it goes.
Now Barack (He Whose Middle Name Cannot Be Mentioned) Obama realizes he messed in his nest when he withdrew his name from Michigan because he was pandering to the DNC and wants millions of Michigan voters disenfrancished. Same with Florida, although his name was on the Florida ballot. And just to make sure that the scales are tipped in Barack (HWNCBM) Obama's favor, the race baiting poverty pimp, Al Sharpton, is taking to the microphones to make sure that everyone knows if Obama is not the DNC candidate "there will be marching in the streets".
Obama made his "color" a factor when he made his Selma speech. Now when people call him on it, they are racists. The lastest victim is Geraldine Ferraro.
Well, welcome to the world of Republicans.
And Shira, I also lived in Mississippi (Columbia) for two years. If you think that the Mississippi black voters voted for Barack because he was the best choice, you have been drinking to much of the dirty water from the Pearl River. So let's call it what it is; when you vote for a candidate because of their "color", that in itself, is racist.
Perhaps this election shows the sorry state of the Mississippi public school system.
