LOL. Spoken like a true out of stater. In Maryland (my home), a Republican getting 20% of the black vote is flipping landslide.

It's not just your state.

In any state if a Repub gets 20% of the black vote, that's HUGE.

The other poster doesn't know what he/she is talking about.

I think that's true anywhere, frankly. It's very, very monolithic, as they say.

"LOL. Spoken like a true out of stater. In Maryland (my home), a Republican getting 20% of the black vote is flipping landslide."

Your "out of stater" analysis doesn't hold water. In my own state, the same phenomenon prevails, as it does in much of the country. Cut it as you will, 20%--while marginally more than the 6-12% black vote for a Republican that might usually prevail--is not "big-time".

It's still pathetically small.
