Well, since a black man running for president resulted in only 5% more blacks voting democrat than would ordinarily be the case, you can't disregard the overwhelming tendency of blacks to vote democratic? Remember that Lynn Swann only got 13% of the black vote in Pennsylvania when he ran for governor? Ken Blackwell only got 20% of the black vote when he ran for governor of Ohio. Steele received only 23% when running for the U.S. Senate.

But remember when Hillary ran against Obama in the North Carolina primary with virtually the same agenda, Obama still got over ninety percent of the Black vote.

Actually, Sharpton and Jackson have brainwashed the black community into believing that the Democrats are the best party for *blacks*. That’s the key. It has very little to do with actual issues and everything to do with racial identity politics.
