I'm not saying that he didn't get the Lion's share of the Black vote....What I mean is that I don't think he got it because he was black......I think he got it because of what they thought he could do for them, He had a MUCH better marketing campaign than McCain did  .
Clinton also got the Lion's share of the black vote when he was elected....as well as most Democrats the past few elections.
People were just dissillusioned....Hope and Change.....A Good Slogan....Marketing 101 |

You are wrong.
Millions of black people voted for the 1st time in their life only because Obama is black. |

I am not disputing the effect of first time black voters but I question if the impact was as great as you may think because he must have lost many traditional Democratic voters as well because they would not vote for a black man. |

I have to agree with Dad on this. Add also McCain's selection process for VP terrified a lot of people who were on the fence. |

You need to re-visit your facts. Before McCain picked Palin, he was trailing Obama in the polls. After he picked Palin, the conservative base was finally energized behind him. She gave an absolutely stunning speech at the convention. After, he lept ahead of Obama in the polls and stayed there until the economy crashed.
I'm no huge Palin fan, although I agree with her on most of the issues that matter to me. But I find it interesting when folks claim that her selection hurt his ticket, when the facts clearly, conclusively say otherwise. There are a lot of people who are so deranged with hatred for her that they have lost their grip with reality. |
