Do you think it could be too a more closer to 50-50 race split in Norton? Not trying to be racist just realistic.

That's one person who made a difference. Say one person who voted for McCain votes for Obama. You then have a tie in Norton.
Not saying Norton is some sort of a battleground or anything, just think its really interesting. </div></div>

Norton has a difference of 2 votes yet McCain and Palin win the county by 4K votes. That shows Norton's views on race relations as opposed to the rest of the redneck towns in this area. The folks from Norton should be proud of themselves. </div></div>

It is definitely something to be proud for the folks that live there.

lpdbuckeye we should have canvassed a little more and maybe we would have given Norton the push. lol</div></div>

No joke.
Who would have thought it would have been /that/ close?

They are who we thought they were.

Blacks are going to vote for black candidates-that's just the way it is. But I don't think Norton is 50% black.

Im not saying it is, I am just saying there is a higher percentage per capita than any other location in Wise County. A big reason it was so close in Norton.

Well......we're officially screwed. Thanks America.

[TheSkulls]

Your welcome........The country is blue again, Thank God

[sup-rbeast]

Hell yeah...

Fresh quote from Tom Brokaw:

"From the time the first slave was offloaded..."

I knew it couldn't be too long before that bullshit rhetoric started to flow.

Not disagreeing. You're likely on the right track. But folks will holler than I'm prejudice (which I'm not). But it chaps my ass to no end for blacks to holler racism when I can't make a decision without being branded a racist. I didn't vote against Obama because he's black - I voted against him because he's marxist.
