One only need look at the republican voters for racist David Duke to understand where the racists are in America. It is no accident the right has sent out the blood hounds to sniff for a means to bring racism into the camapaign, and go after Obama.
Duke received 44 percent of the vote to Johnston's 52 percent, and, according to exit polls,[citation needed] Duke received more than sixty percent of the white vote. In a 2006 interview, Gideon Rachman (The Economist, the Financial Times) recalled he interviewed Duke's campaign manager who said, "The Jews just aren't a big issue in Louisiana. We keep telling David, stick to attacking the blacks. There's no point in going after the Jews, you just piss them off and nobody here cares about them anyway." Republican Party, Duke ran for Louisiana Governor in 1991. In the open primary, Duke was second to former governor Edwin Washington Edwards in votes; thus, he faced Edwards in a runoff. In the initial round, Duke received 32 percent of the vote. Duke said he was the spokesman for the "White majority." Duke's 671,009 votes represented 38.8 percent of the total. Duke claimed victory, saying, "I won my constituency. I won 55 percent of the white vote," which he had, as exit polls confirmed.[13] In actuality, Duke had done little better in percent terms than the first major Republican gubernatorial candidate in modern Louisiana history, Charlton Lyons, had done in 1964.
