The Demographics of the Republican Party
November 4th, 2009 12:12 am by Vincent Flanders
The previous Daily Sucker reminded me how much I hate politics.
I hate politics so much that I don’t keep up on what’s going on; however, I was surprised to see an African-American woman at the top of the Republican National Committee (RNC) home page (they rotate the images, so your mileage will vary). I was under the impression — obviously a wrong impression — that there weren’t many African Americans in the party. I figured that the RNC would use more than one image and so I decided to see how many different images they used.
I decided to hit the page refresh button until I got an image that repeated. I saw nine unique images and since I’m assuming that these images are representative of the Republican Party, the makeup of the GOP is 33% African-American men, 22% African-American women, 33% young white women, and 11% chubby white men.
