Dude, I live in Chicago. I am a libertarian/conservative behind enemy lines. The concept that there are groups of alienated black voters in this city who will vote against “the one” is utterly absurd.

Well, “dude,” I live in one of the most liberal areas in the US, near Washington DC, and I have encountered quite a few middle-class black people who voted for Obama in 2008 and won’t do so now. Yes, a lot of them are unhappy about his support for gay marriage; that does NOT fly with most black people. Others are religious people who are unhappy about his support for abortion. Others are military or are military family members.
I’m not saying that all blacks are going to turn on Obama. Far from it. The old, the young, and the poor will continue to go for him. But there’s a growing black middle class who are socially and financially conservative, and they are a lot less enthusiastic about high taxes now that they’re the ones who have to pay.
