This may be kerry's legacy. I have several Black friends who say that they have always been Democrats, but they're waiting until after the debates to decide what to do this year. Bush, kerry, and not voting are options they're considering.
Once people consider, or actually do vote, for the "other party", it's not such a sure thing that they will have such blind party loyalty anymore. The Dems will have a hard time for years if they lose the Black loyalty vote this year.
I think you're wrong about middle class blacks. Don't believe polls either, paticularly exit polls, peer pressure is enormous among blacks. A black person would be the first to pull the lever for Bush and then walk outside and lie about it to a pollster or his friends.
