Here in Pennsylvania we had a black football star (Lynn Swann) running against white Ed Rendell. The news reported that Rendell won the black vote pretty handily. Are there any elections where the black republican won the black vote? I can’t think of any.

I can't either, off the top of my head, but we don't exactly have a huge pool of data to draw from. Also, when the news said the Dem won the blak vote "handily", what does that mean? The usual 96%? Or just 70%? Or can we even trust what the news says, anyway?
