Newsweak’s Jonathan Alter has come up with a new codename for white redneck racists who will vote against the anointed Obamessiah solely based on his race: the Low Information Voters or LIVs.
Looking into his cloudy racist crystal ball, Alter sees a possible (but highly unlikely) scenario that could (but most likely won’t) play out in eight days that might (but really wouldn’t dare) hand the Presidency to John McCain and leave the Crown Prince of Hope and Change to join Algore and John “Lurch” Kerry in the Also Ran Club.
According to Alter’s worst-case scenario, Florida votes a majority for McCain bolstered by
the critical I-4 corridor near Tampa and in the Panhandle, where the astonishing Republican margins among whites could be attributed only to race.
Yep. All you old white geezers down there along the Florida Panhandle - you’re all a bunch of scared racists.
In the Old Dominion, commonly known as Virginia, Obama wins big in the purple tinged counties of Northern Virginia, but loses out to the
huge McCain margin among whites farther south. They weren’t the racists of their parents’ generation, but they weren’t quite ready to vote for the unthinkable, either.
So all you southern rednecks down there south of Fredericksburg, y’all aren’t nearly the racists your momma and daddy were, but y’all are still too racist to vote for the personification of Hope and Change.
