No. 7% lower numbers with "black" voters. IF "blacks" vote in numbers commensurate with their population percentage figures (which I do not think is the case; i think it is much lower) then 7% of the "black vote" amounts to only about 2.1% of the total vote, at most.

YOu can’t just look at the overall Nation, you have to look at the states where the vote was really close. There were several that were just a couple thousand votes or far less that decided an entire states electoral vote. You have to look at the numbers state by state and I am betting that in at least a couple of cases, they tipped Obama over the edge. Some of the NE states and one or two others were really close. It could have been a factor. Certainly it is widely believed, correctly that the overwhelming black support put Obama over the top. That’s not something that anyone can deny, it totally did. If McCain had gotten even 6% of the black vote, it may have changed the outcome in some states, whether or not that would have changed the eventual outcome I don’t know. I don’t have the numbers to be able to say.
