That is very surprising.... especially since the Republicans have admitted to using the southern strategy and have done so for over forty years....

Interesting. It's fascinating looking at election results over the years.

How about this madness:

1956 U.S. presidential election result map (Eisenhower vs. Stevenson):

The South was the only part of the country with states voting for the Democrat.

The 1960 presidential election map (Kennedy vs. Nixon):

The South and Northeast were not uniformly divided at that time. It was prior to the implementation of the "Southern strategy."

So there are more Americans with conservative views?

That is some scary shit. Those racist whites down in the south and midwest haven't changed their ideologies in generations

lol. i checked that out right after the election too.
i was curious to see if the confederate states were still race conscious in their voting.

Well it's honestly not surprising, i actually knew what states romney was going win which are mainly the southern states. It's 2012 but nothing have really change .

It's funny when you say "it's 2012." Not to sound rude (since i'm new here) but so? It can be 2050, and whites will still hate blacks. With Latinos becoming the majority, let's see how it plays at. But, my dear black people, do not bury your head in the sand, because nobody (no other race) gives a fuck about us. Republicans are now trying to win Latino and Asian vote, they don't care about black vote, and black vote is not enough to get a president elected. I'm sure almost all blacks voted for Al Gore, well he didn't win because whites and other ethnic groups voted for Bush.

this election wasnt decided by just the black and latino vote,some oldhead whites voted for Obama also.I think people need to understand....alot of old time white people didnt like Romney/Especially Ryan and crossed party lines to make sure the two never stepped foot in the whitehouse....2016 ,we will have to see....if the GOP backed person is tainted in any way,they gonna do it again. The racist need to be mad at their mommas and daddies.Who ultimately decide who sits on Pennsylvannia Avenue.
