Obama Wins BIG in NC

Posted by bamgibbs in Untagged

Despite the fact that North Carolina’s Governor went against the grain and endorsed Hillary Clinton, it was Barack Obama who came out the big winner during Tuesday’s Primary election.

The numbers are beyond impressive!  Obama won a lopsided victory by more than 200,000 votes.  With 99 percent of the votes counted:

Barack Obama      887,186

Hillary Clinton      654,484

What is even more astonishing is the fact that nearly 1.5 million votes were cast (by Democrats) in the race.  According to the NC Board of Elections, there are 2,633,502 registered democratic voters (as of 5/7/08)

Never in the history of NC voting has there ever been a turnout like this.  Yes, Obama overwhelmingly won the black vote, but he clearly crossed over racial lines and received a significant number of white votes as well.  (The media’s not talking about that!)

Even though I’m not a fan of FOX News, they reported some interesting statistics:

74% of voters with college degrees voted for Obama

56% of voters with no degree voted for Obama

69% of first-time voters voted for Obama

61% of Obama voters were under 30 (my daughter was one of them).

 Obama received 92% of the black vote

Obama received 61% of white women

So there you have it.....

Jesse Jackson
 
"Campaigning In Free Verse," An Article About Rev. Jesse Jackson's Bid For The 1984 Democratic Presidential Nomination, Appeared In The May 7, 1984 Issue Of Time Magazine.

A Predecessor To Recent Black Presidential Candidates, Al Sharpton And Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson Was The First African American To Be Taken Seriously As A Contender For A Major Political Party Nomination (Eldridge Cleaver Ran For President In 1968 And Shirley Chisholm Vied For The Office In 1972).

Jackson's Campaign Has Been Called "one of the most dramatic developments in modern American political history." The Long-Time Civil Rights Activist Proposed The Creation Of A New Political Alliance, The Rainbow Coalition.

Based On The Concept Of Economic Justice,
The Coalition Was To Be Composed Of Individuals Traditionally Marginalized By The American System -- African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Arab Americans, Asian Americans, Elderly Women, The Poor, The Disabled And Small-Scale Farmers.

In The 1984 Primary Elections Jackson Got 2.5 Million Black Votes And 800,000 Votes From Non-Blacks, Giving Him 10 Percent Of The Total White Primary Vote.

He Ran Again In 1988 And Received 20 Percent Of The White Primary Vote.
