Checking in on the 2008 Coalition

Remember that video during the campaign when Peggy Joseph was in thrall over candidate Barack Obama, as, she was convinced, he was going to pay her mortgage and put gas in her car? Well, he didn't do that I'm pretty sure. But no matter, Peggy can always find a gainfully employed man to satisfy her longing not to work, right? Umm, maybe not, chances aren't good. Listen folks, it's time to get real. There's no black economics or white economics, just economics. "There is no free lunch" is not some whitey scam pushed by the man to keep a brotha' down. So what is my point? No doubt there were tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of Peggy Josephs streaming to the polls in 2008. Are they gonna come out in force, with the same passion and fire in 2012? Independents, Business, blacks, the young - these were the deciding factors in 2008. Independents, gone. Business, so gone. The young, not gone but how long will they dig this. Blacks,...who knows. Peggy?

UPDATE: Speaking of economics, just for shits and giggles, check out the fourth graph here (hell, read the whole damn post for all I care!). Is that a tight correlation or what?!?!?!
