Ding. Ding. We have a winner. It's not black folks who are leaving Obama in droves.
There are places where he can pick up votes and Lynchburg is not one of them. It is a waste of his time. Where he should be campaigning is in Northern Virginia to boost the margins there where it is more competitive. Anyone who thinks Obama is going to improve his penetration with White folks after the Rev. Wright affair is greatly mistaken. I hope there is a 527 that will run some ads on Rev Wright to remind people before the election. Well there are some polls showing Barrack is indeed losing as much as 15-20% of the black vote. That talk about “we should learn spanish, they don’t need to learn english” hurt him with the black community.
