The 2012 election is shaping up to be more polarized along racial lines than any presidential contest since 1988, with President Obama lagging behind Republican Mitt Romney among white voters by 21 percentage points, a steep drop in support from four years ago.
As he did in 2008, Obama gets overwhelming support from non-whites, who made up a record high proportion of the overall electorate four years ago. In that contest, 80 percent of all non-whites supported Obama, including 95 percent of black voters, according to the exit poll. In the Washington Post-ABC News national tracking poll released Wednesday, Obama wins 79 percent of non-whites, and support for his reelection is nearly universal among African Americans. [more]

Mitt Romney served an LDS mission BEFORE this doctrine was repealed by church leaders, so it was accepted by him as a part of his faith. Watch this documentary to find out more!

Division is the strength of a Democracy
By Hubert Williams
Boston, Massachusetts, Nov 10 — As Barack Hussein Obama, 51, returns in glory to the White House, Willard Mitt Romney, 65, begins his drift into America’s political wilderness, very likely hereafter concentrating on further wealth accumulation through business, while seeking to promote increased Mormon awareness of the country’s religious and demographic realities.
Last Tuesday’s verdict and the loss of all major “battleground” states was a crushing blow to Mr. Romney’s ambitions and hopes, though it by no means heralds the end of the Republican Party. The multi-party system of democracy remains alive and well in the United States, although the country’s racists and right-wingers would contend not. Continue reading →
