Too bad that come Noemebr that 87% of voters will NOT be black. Too bad that ANY dem candidate would get 90% of the black vote regardless. What does Obama bring to the table an extra 7%-8%? That extra 7%-8% won't even offset a 2%-3% shift of white voters voting GOP simply because they don't want a negro in the White House.
"Clinton and Edwards split the white vote about equally, with each getting support from nearly four in 10 and Obama getting about a quarter.
Obama's high-water mark among white voters so far this year has been the 36 percent he got in New Hampshire, where he finished second overall to Clinton; he also got a third of the white vote in the year's first contest in Iowa, enough for him to win overall in that state."
Do the math democrats!
