From what I’ve picked up over on the hillbuzz.org, this probably won’t work very well.
The blacks in the Chicago area that helped push him to the presidency are furious that he forgets they exist, until he need something from them, and they know it.
They claim they won’t help, won’t vote for him, but won’t vote for Mitt either; just sit home.
And they are angry that he is supposed to be moving to Hawaii when he loses. Chicago just ain’t good enough for him anymore.
I hope you are right about his followers staying home.
Obama was really never from Chicago. He just ran for office and got elected there.
