DETROIT — Michigan voters decided Tuesday that race and gender should not be factors in deciding who gets into public universities or who gets hired for government work.
By approving Proposal 2, Michigan becomes the third state in the past decade — joining California and Washington — to ban some types of affirmative action programs.
With 70 percent of precincts reporting, 58 percent, or 1,418,982 people voted "yes" on Proposal 2, and 42 percent, or 1,010,196 voters, were opposed.

It's not Pat, even in exit polls most people identified themselves as conservative or moderate, and very few people call themselves liberal.

The credit crisis caused the markets to crash, the party of the sitting President gets blamed. Until then, a fatally flawed McCain Campaign was actually leading while swimming upstream against a very strong current.

You are right. A small lead immediately following the GOP convention. Lasted right up to when someone ask Palin a question on TV.

Shearson Lehman's stocks plummet Sept 15, 2008
AIG bailout follows within days
Complete Bailout surfaces a week later

9/15 RCP's Averages McCain +2
9/16 McCain +1
9/17 tied
9/24 Obama +3.5
10/1 Obama +5.3

1)There was an absolute and undeniable correlation between the credit crisis and the Presidential Polls.

2) history tell us without room for debate the economy impacts elections and VPs don't.

You can choose to believe it was Sarah Palin's interview, but I think that's rather naive.

You can choose to disbelieve the exit polling data that strongly indicated that the economy was the largest issue on voters minds, and continue to believe it was really about Sarah Palin. I'm ok with that, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

The stench of the Neo Con poster childs won't get washed away from the Republican party for years.

After this election they were driven out of Congress to the tune of 306-223.

Blame your own party for its massive failings.

...

I'm not a supporter of Affirmative Action, but it doesnt make much sense to have a Public Vote about things intended to protect minorities, does it?

 

[gtc08]

universities arn't going to care. there still going to do what they have been doing. cal public schools are a perfect example of that.

Reverse Discrimination (1 Viewing)
Supporters of affirmative action and other race-based policies argue that racial profiling against white males in academics and the workplace is needed to ensure "economic fairness". Using this logic with regards to terrorism, shouldn't we be able to racially profile in order to ensure that another terrorist attack will not occur? Not in today's politically correct world. The only one you can discriminate against is the white male. http://fightpc.net
