Importance of Convention Sites Overblown

Earlier this week it was reported that President Obama has selected Charlotte, North Carolina as the site for the 2012 Democratic Party of No's convention in an open pander to keep North Carolina in his column on election day.

I can't overstate enough the insult to North Carolinians. Two wars, Egypt on fire, $3.25 gasoline, 10% unemployment, a Country still gagging on having ObamaCare shoved down our throats, etc., and North Carolinians are going to vote for Obama because he chose Charlotte for a convention site? I haven't seen the numbers on how many people in Raleigh and Chapel Hill and other North Carolina locations with a passionate dislike for Charlotte that Obama will offend by his offensive decision (to say nothing of the other 49 states Obama snubbed!).

But now that North Carolina is in the news for 24 hours, let me repost from my November 8, 2008 analysis of election results noting the racism of black Americans, their racism not being the differnce in the national Presidential results, but their racism certainly the difference in North Carolina's results:

"Sen. McCain lost North Carolina by 14,053 votes (2,123,334 to 2,109,281). Exit polls say whites voted for McCain 65 – 35 while blacks voted for Sen. Obama along the national average 95 – 5. Digging deeper into the numbers though, black women voted for Sen. Obama 100 – 0! Black women made up 14% of the electorate in North Carolina. If they voted for Sen. Obama 98 – 2, Sen. McCain would have won the state by more than 7,000 votes. I don’t know what percentage of black women in North Carolina are racists but I’m quite positive more than 2% cast a racist vote on election day. Black racists definitely were the difference in the election results in North Carolina."
