I'm curious where you got the 40% number... and if it said "qualfications" as opposed to "Will race and/or ethnicity effect you vote."

Which you know.  Is a huge difference.  As someone might think it's a big important deal to nominate a woman or black person.  

Black Person being the biggest world wide and woman biggest in the US.

I mean... has their ever been an executive leader who was a racial minority of a country... that was voted for. (No South Africa's opression doesn't count.)

That 40% is a rough estimate of Democrats supporting Hillary because she's a woman or white, plus Democrats for Barack because he's black and a man.
To tell you the truth, I'm probably being optimistic in thinking 60% of democrats support their candidate because of what they stand for, not their race and gender.

 Oh.  In otherwords your completly pulling facts out of your ass.  

I guess 99% are predjudice against Keebler Elves then, since no one voted for Kusinich.  Well at least it doesn't effect the cookie buisness.

 Ah Dennis, everyone in town hates him, but the one thing they hate more?  Republicans.

Basically it boils down to this. Would you rather believe a lie to in order to feel good about yourself and your country ... For example our soldiers are dying to save the world from WMD's and feel good about saving the world.

or when that turns out bogus, say "we're sacrificing ourselves to bring democracy to Iraq" and feel good about bringing freedom to a middle east country.

Or would you believe something that's true all along, i.e. we're killing and getting killed over $$$ and oil. And feel ashamed of your country and how you voted in the last two elections. (if you voted for Bush)
