Obama ahead in PA. 75%-25%.
The Carlisle (PA) Indian Industrial School poll of likely Democratic voters shows American Indian (as they prefer to be designated) voters favor Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton by a 50% margin.

Student activist Mellisa Running-Deer O'Brian stated that the poll of approximately 2500 registered voters, about half and half Democrats and Republicans, favored Obama over Clinton by 75% to 25%.

"It was a bit of a surprise. We know that the U.S. government has treated 'people of color' badly in the past. The history of their racist treatment of the Indian Nations is well documented. What we didn't foresee is how this would spill over into the Obama campaign."

15. Yes, who cares about American Indians?
Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 09:31 PM by muryan
They should just be on the reservations gambling and drinking "fire water" right? Its amazing to see how progressive we truly are when someone likens an entire ethnic group to some esoteric profession to belittle it.
