It all goes back to the "Inner City" vote and the Dems voted right along with the Blacks. :lol:
Fewer whites vote for Obama in Alabama than anywhere else
Tuscaloosa News ^ | 11/12/08 | Tom Stevens
TUSCALOOSA | Don't tell Bill Maher, but the vote among the white electorate in Alabama for president elect Barack Obama was the lowest in the county at only 10 percent.
From an analysis by MSNBC:
"We took a look at Obama's performance with white voters in all 50 states. In 13 of them, Obama received less than 35% of the white vote. His three lowest performing states: Alabama (10%), Mississippi (11%), and Louisiana (14%). The other 10: GA (23%), SC (26%), TX (26%), OK (29%), AR (30%), UT (31%), AK (32%), WY (32%), ID (33%), and TN (34%). On the other hand, Obama won the white vote in 18 states and DC: CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, IA, ME, MA, MI, MN. NH. NY. OR, RI, WA, WI and VT. Obama's lowest percentage of the white vote he received in a state that he won: NC (35%). The highest percentage of the white vote Obama received in a state he lost: MT (45%)."
Of course, as I noted in the link above and reiterated here, and here, Obama actually won in the city of Tuscaloosa with 62 percent of the vote, albeit, while losing the county as a whole, approximately 57.7 for John McCain to 41.5 for Obama.
