I live in Alabama and work with about 20 black people on a daily basis at my job. It was the talk of the office this morning and not one of them agreed with his decision. There was a lot of “What has gotten into his mind?”. I dont think it will change any of their vote away from him, but it will keep alot of them from voting all together.
I was talking to my husband and the very same thing came up. He agreed that Black voters ,in good conscience, cannot vote against him (well, at least the people he spoke with) but they can certainly stay home. I think Obama is about to learn that every action has an equal but opposite reaction.
