I disagree, I think many blacks that normally stay home just might come out to vote for Obama. Next to Edwards, Obama has the best chance of getting elected in my mind. In the end it is all going to come down to the republican nominee since the democratic field is such a joke.
And of course how many third party votes get sucked off each side.
Black women vote their weight, so to speak, relative to the general population, and I dont think Obama is going to get any more Black males (who are still elligible) to come out any than they do. And even if he does, it will be countered easily by the fence sitters who will never vote for a Black guy, but will never tell the pollsters that.
I guess we'll just have to disagree. Obama is a real lefty, and he cant keep that secret forever.
Barak Hussein Obama. While we are fighting a war against Islamic terrorists, this will not play well outside of the coasts.
He is an empty suit, long of speechifying, very short on policy specifics. In a debate with Romney or Rudy or Fred or Huckabee, he will look like what he is, a lightweight, an empty suit.
Scratch the surface and you will find a screaming liberal. Even Hillary is accusing him of being too far to the left.
Given these handicaps, I don't think the fact that he is black will matter to anyone.
