Exactly. How are they going to make up all those lost votes. Palm Beach is one of the most Jewish counties in the nation. That would’ve been a beacon of support for Hillary, not so much for Obama. Cubans for Hillary, not so much for Obama.

They cant. Blacks may be 15 percent of our population, but many are non-citizens from haiti and jamaica. Further there popultaion tends to skew younger then white population.
Kerry maximized black voter turnout in 2004. Obama has no room to grow as a percentage of voters.
The congressional districts of pennsylvania 1 and 2 had the highest voter turnout in the country as compared with there estimated population as of 2005. White voter turout lags that of black voter turnout.
It is going to be very hard for many of Floridas elderly dems who hail from the northeast to vote for someone who doesnt look like them. Think of the philadelphia mayoral election of john street vs. sam katz.
