balmofgileadWow, interesting:
A higher percentage of white men voted for Obama than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton included.
------------------------------------
also:
There's been some discussion about how the media vastly underreported the turnout at last Friday's march in San Francisco protesting proposition 8. The media's been saying a thousand or a few thousand people were there. Those of us who actually attended - and the police that supervised - say it was more like 10-20 thousand people.
I watch the RSS feed of Rachel Maddow clips on msnbc.com, so when something about Friday's rally popped up yesterday, I went to go watch it. Rachel Maddow herself said "1000 people." That's really strange to me.
Rachel Maddow:
1) is intelligent/generally well-informed
2) is gay and opposed prop 8
3) is a native of the bay area and presumably knows at least several people who attended
4) said this in the middle of a segment about underreported news!
What's going on?
-----------------------------------
also OMG look what I just discovered: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8132577/ They have Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow streaming or downloadable in their entirety now.
