Posted by LuchAAA on Mon Jan 20 05:13:20 2014, in response to The Republican Party’s uphill path to 270 electoral votes in 2016, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Mon Jan 20 04:53:04 2014. One problem facing the Dems in 2016 is that Obama is so divisive, it will be hard to get another candidate to get the big turnouts, especially minorities, like he did.Virginia and Florida are two states where the Dems rely heavily on the minority turnout. To them, voting for Obama is a shoutout. Props. Without someone who looks like Obama in 2016, that segment will stay home and make it harder for the Dems to win. In the days leading to the last election, The Obama's spent a lot of time on Miami, Charlotte, and DC(Virginia) hip-hop stations going for the flash-mob vote, and it worked. The main thing the Dems have going for them is the ability to divide people by race and gender followed by education. If they get stuck with a white-male candidate, it won't be as easy as Obama made it look. |
