Obama‘s Drop in VA Polls Blamed on ’Racism’ and…Vacations? State Sen. Says So

A new poll released by Quinnipiac University on July 19th, shows the President and Mitt Romney are tied 44-44% in the state of Virginia. Based on those numbers, Romney has erased the 8-point lead that President Obama held in March. That data is causing many Democrats to scramble for answers. One state official has even decided to play the race card in explaining it.
Following President Obama’s two-day campaign swing through Virginia last week, many expected his poll numbers to increase over Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. That did not happen. According to State Senator Louise Lucas, the problem comes from racism and vacations. Yes, you read that correctly. State Sentator Louise Lucas, one of the President‘s key campaign spokespersons in Virginia says the problems are rooted in Mitt Romney’s racism and vacations.
VA State Senator Lucas is also known for her fashion sense.
These curious comments were heard during a recent radio interview with Louise Lucas on the John Fredericks Show out of Hampton Roads, VA. When confronted with the hard data from the Quinnipiac poll, Ms. Lucas actually said:
“I think the big problem is that people are not paying attention to the messages because they are on vacation with their kids. It’s summertime. It’s hot.”
And then, when asked to address Romney’s claim that President Obama cannot fully understand the economy because he has never worked in the private sector, Senator Lucas played the race card on Romney and all of America, stating:
“Mitt Romney he’s speaking to a … segment of the population who does not like to see people other than a white man in the White House or any other elected position.Let’s be real clear about it. We know what’s going on here, and some people may be afraid to say it, but I’m not. I’m not afraid to say it. He’s speaking to that friends out there who do not want to see anybody other than a white person in a leadership position. … This is not about anything other than they don’t want President Barack Obama in office … .
Host John Fredericks seemed taken aback by this statement and pressed the state Senator asking her if she really believed that this was about race? Lucas doubled down and brought her children and the entire country into the mix, reaffirming:
“I absolutely believe it is all about race and for the the first time in my life I’ve been able to convince my children finally that racism is alive and well… . All across this nation, and especially in Virginia.”
The incredible interview continued with the State Senator also placing 100% of the blame for the country’s current economic woes on President Bush. She even stated that Obama would need more than one term to fix the problems:
President Barack Obama did not create this economic mess we’re in. Everybody knows that this stuff happened under President George Bush and they’re trying to dump it on the president. … And the mess that was created could not be solved in two or three or four years. Intelligent people understand that.
Perhaps Ms. Lucas has forgotten the President’s previous statement on the economy and his ability to fix it:
“If I don’t have this done in three years, it’s going to be a one-term proposition.”
Listen to the interview with John Fredericks and State Senator Lucas here:
Author’s note: You may remember State Senator Lucas from a 2007 article that profiled the legislator and her massive shoe collection that was photographed for the story:
Lucas' garage holds her 300+ pairs of shoes, organized by color in see-through boxes

Two months we were in Tulsa to see the museums and got lost on the wrong side of the tracks at dusk on our way to the interstate after lunch. Young Africian American teens chased us and threw rocks at us. At the end of the block where they were chaseing us and pelting my car with rocks and bottles, five kids tried to block us. Fearing for our lives I floored the gas and with the roar of all 300 horses they jumped out of the way. We got back to civilazation and called the police, they filled out a report while laughing at us. I just got my car fixed 2 weeks ago after paying a $500 deductable.

Report Post »Look to your own house, Senator, to see racism alive and well. Your progressive ilk will vote for Obama because of his skin color, where the majority of non-blacks vote for who is the best candidate – did you learn nothing from the 2008 election?
Had racism been alive and well, Obama wouldn’t have made it to the primaries in 2008.
Of course now that he’s divided the country along race, class, and “sexual orientation”, everyone who doesn’t like Obama is a racist, misogynist, buck-toothed hillbilly.

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 11:53amWhenever charged with great responsibility, blacks hate to admit they have a special knack of converting responsibility into a steaming pile of “Durbin”.
Then, when confronted with their failings, persist to grin like the village idiot and blame someone other than themselves.
(Just look at OBomba, Charlie “Who Pays Taxes” Rangel, Maxi “Baby, I’m No Socialist” Waters, Eric “Finger-in-My-Nose” Holder, Jesse Jaxhoff Jr. et al. .)
And so again, blacks witness one of their own—-The First black President— the first black-Marxist President — that not only decimated the liberties of an entire country, an entire race and culture, all the hopes of ‘We the People’ but also has enslaved the futures of every child —black, white, brown, speckled, whatever!
He has even diluted the term ‘racist’: manipulating it into a Badge Of Honor term.
The black community leaders are the true vixens in the hen house.
Only a scant minority of honorable black people find they have no stomach for the hip-hoppin’, jve bs, m-f’en coalition that attempts to control black youth.
Call me racist, Don’t really care—-Like I said it’s a badge of honor!

If you don’t pay tax then you have no right to say a damn thing. I am ready for a progressive vote!

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 4:59pmSo let me get this straight. The people of Virginia were polled earlier with an eight point edge in Obama’s favor and all of a sudden the polls are now a dead heat? And they call this racism? So what this loon is saying is that the existing polled individuals just all of sudden started hating Obama because he was black when they supported him earlier? Maybe the dialogue went like this:
Citizen: I like Obama and I like the direction we are going under him (earlier poll)
Citizen: I just found out Obama was black and in now way can I support a black man for president even though I have a tv and knew he was already president for 3.5 years (latest poll)
I think I should run for office as it appears you don’t have to substantiate anything you say but as long as the hate speech sticks you will always have the ignorant to support you.

Apparently YOU are the one that’s not paying attention to the messages from the We the PEOPLE. Maybe you been distracted by your attention to your wardrobe. Maybe you’re “out of touch” with the commoners, your so-called constituents. Maybe you’re stuck in a “We the government are so infinitely smarter than you and if you would just do as you’re told everything would be rosy” mentality. Maybe YOU make too much money? Maybe YOU should take a vacation, hopefully PERMANENTLY from failing to do the business of the PEOPLE.

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 10:00amThat is true, she is. We have many blacks that come from black only districts that ensure victory. Unfortunately on the most race pandering blacks win these districts. Lucas is one of these. She is an extreme liberal, an anti-Constitutionalists, and as you may have noticed a raciest. But due to here districting and her pandering this ignorant person is here to stay, sorry Portsmouth.

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 12:07pmNo one cares about whatever nonsense Virginia State Senator Lucas has to say.
President Øbama won Virginia in 2008 by a 6.3% margin. Was that result about race?
Unless Øbama is newly black since March, race is the last thing this decline in the polls is about.

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 9:46amLouise I got a news flash for you. The best thing about Obama is the fact that he is black. I was thrilled to have a black President. I was eager for hope and change, and I thought he would bring about a racial healing. Nope… he is anti-American business. He is socialistic. He is expanding debt and enslaving our children. He is a divider. He dispicabley allows his supporters to use the race card without comment. As a nation are we supposed to continue to vote for him because he is black? Not again. I will vote against him because he is not a good President.

And Obama was elected by all of those so-called “racists !” Sure know why the Lefties chose him, though, because they can use the Discrimination Card to divide America just like they have used it to ruin the economy with the so-called Affordable Housing Act ( oh, that worked out swell ) and the soon to be ruinous so-called Affordable HealthCare Act !

Posted on July 23, 2012 at 12:00pmVirginia is plagued by a couple of anomalies that most states are not. In Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Loudon, Faquier and Prince William counties) are heavily infiltrated by Federal Government workers and military families who are not Virginians. They are part of the Commonwealth electorate, but they are not Virginians. The majority of them vote liberal.
Then, in the Richmond area (city of Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County and Hanover County) there is a very large contingent of State government employees who are generally liberal in their voting habits.
In the southeast (Greater Hampton Roads, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk and Newport News) again you have a huge contingent of military and civil service transplants who aren’t really Virginians. They vote liberal.
Unfortunately, these are the three largest population areas in the Commonwealth and they can tilt the entire electoral balance of the rest of the state. The vast majority of Virginia, by area, is conservative and there are quite a few libertarians as well.
If they could get rid of the vote of the quasi-Virginians, there is not doubt that Virginia would go solidly Republican. I don’t live in VA anymore but I visit often, I have lots of family still there, and I will always consider myself a Virginian. Virginians aren’t stupid, but many of the transplants are. Take a look at the map below from 2008. Even with a weak McCain as candidate you’ll see the vast majority of the state voted R
