Does racism lurk behind every black vote for Obama?

For those enamored by and wedded to the theory of voting behavior as exclusively racially motivated, let me suggest a thought experiment. Are you listening MSNBC’s Chris Matthews? Is it possible that many blue-collar white voters may be voting against Obama because they feel his value system or world-view is decidedly out of sync with theirs (remember the elitist and disparaging bitter and clinging comments)? Could they be rejecting his increasingly apparent hard-left big government Liberalism, and not merely the color of his skin? By the same token, could African-American be voting en masse for Obama because of intrinsic ethnic pride (remember Catholics voting for JFK?), and that through the vehicle of his candidacy he embodies their collective aspirations for the potential of having the first black elected president?

IMO that line of though accounts for 66-85% of BHO's & HRC's respective votes this season.
