Blacks are in the bag for Obama. This is about scaring whites into voting for him.
I think EPU is on to this. It's true that the black population is in the bag for Obama. But they are not as motivated to get to the polls in November to re-elect him as they were to vote for him the first time.
They will use and manipulate events like this to rekindle that motivation.
Sure; they’ll take what they can get in collateral votes. But what got blacks to turn out 93% for a lily-white loser like Gore? Obama needs whites. To some, the only real difference between Romney and Obama will be that with Obama, America’s metropolitan areas won’t burst into flames.
