Bingo! “....Black voters, sensing a historic opportunity, began moving en masse to Obama.”
BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The very nanosecond a black lib decided to run, he had 95% of the black vote sewn up. Period.
Early on with Obama, the Black activists and MSM were questioning: Is He Black enough?
The longer the race went, the ‘blacker’ Obama became, from challenging Clinton in Selma and forward.
During the first half of Obama’s run, he was emphasizing that he was the candidate of change and unity and was above ‘race’ as an issue.
By the second half of Obama’s run, he had found the race card and was using it at every opporunity, at every opposition. And it worked. It caused the Clintons to cower. It caused McCain to cower. Neither the Clintons nor McCain wanted to be branded as ‘racists’. That gave Obama the edge.
You can bet Obama will continue to play the race card at every opportunity going in to November. McCain better be ready for it. It is coming.
“BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The very nanosecond a black lib decided to run, he had 95% of the black vote sewn up. Period.”
Exactly right.
I predict Obama will garner upwards of 96-97% of the black vote in November. We will probably see 25-50% of “registered Republican” blacks voting for the new savior. Now, why is that?
For even so-called “conservative” blacks, race still trumps politics, or ANYthing else.
Sorry if you happen to be black and reading this. I invite rebuttals.
Disclaimer: several election cycles ago, I voted at least twice for a congressman here in Connecticut by the name of Gary Franks. Mr. Franks was a Republican, and I voted for him because of that. He also happened to be black.
