Title: Old white men vote in George Bush
Bush has been elected as the next president of the US. As the following exit poll figures indicate this is largely a victory won on the votes of the White American male:

Race by Sex     All     Gore    Bush    Buchanan        Nader
White Males     48 %    36 %    60 %    0 %                      3 %
White Females
       52 %    48 %    49 %    0 %                      2 %

Vote by Race    All     Gore    Bush    Buchanan        Nader
White           81 %    42 %    54 %    0 %             3 %
African-American10 %    90 %    8 %     0 %                    1 %
Hispanic                7 %     62 %    34 %    1 %             2 %
Asian
                2 %     55 %    41 %    1 %             3 %
Other
                1 %     56 %    38 %    0 %             4 %

There is also little doubt that Nader's green party (supported by 1% of black Americans) cost Gore the presidency. (sorry if the figures don't come out in the right columns on everyone's computers)
